SLEEPING BEAUTY - Peninsula Players Christmas Pantomome 2017
directed by Allan Haynes and Melanie Ehrlich

I know it's summer and we're all enjoying the fine weather but it's time for all you actors and actresses to think about our Christmas Panto. It will be a traditional panto with heroes and villains, music, dancing, audience participation and lots of humour.

Plot Synopsis: At her christening, Princess Aurora is blessed by a group of fairies but cursed by a wicked fairy who was inadvertantly left off the guest list. However, her life appears to be developing normally until her 17th birthday when she pricks her finger and falls asleep for a hundred years. She is awakened by a young prince from nearby Langford (who is also the son of the wicked fairy) and who is exoected to marry her - but there seems to be a snag. The local shopkeeper, her son and a young fairy try to help Aurora find a solution to the snag but the wicked fairy, aided by her henchmen, does her best to thwart their plans. Will she succeed or will good triumph?
