| Description |
A fresh and vigorous new adaptation of one of the world's best loved stories. Leaving her family and luxury in the 18th century France, Beauty embarks on an adventure to a world of dreams and nightmares. There, with his mysterious marionette servants, Beast reigns supreme. This hugely entertaining play is an engrossing treat for children, parents, grandparents and those offspring-free. Based on his successful 1996 Christmas production for London's Young Vic Company Laurence Boswell directs a company of New Zealand actors and musicians in a new version specially created for the Festival. A classic fairytale production. |
