Dear Friends,
We are very pleased to welcome back Paul Holman Associates at the Palace Theatre to present Redditch’s traditional family pantomime SLEEPING BEAUTY
The original story of Sleeping Beauty is taken from a 19th century fairy tale written by the Brothers Grimm.
It tells the tale of a Princess cursed by an evil fairy to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die on her 16th Birthday. The curse however is altered by a good fairy’s magic from death to sleep for 100 years only to be woken by true love’s kiss
With a fine cast, excellent production team, special effects, splendid costumes and scenery, and good old-fashioned slapstick, we feel that this pantomime surely has something for everyone. I hope you all join in the traditional audience participation: “Oh, yes, you will!”, “Oh, no, I won’t!” Cheering on the good guys and booing the baddies.
On behalf of the company of Sleeping Beauty, Paul Holman Associates and all the team at the Palace Theatre, I would like to thank you for coming and I hope all those enjoying the special experience of their first pantomime will be back for next year’s production of Aladdin
In the meantime, I would like to encourage you to support the excellent programme of entertainment we provide here at the Palace Theatre
Our Spring brochure is available to pick up from the theatre foyers now and it only remains for me to wish you the Compliments of the Season and Best Wishes for a Very Happy New Year!
