Sleeping Beauty: The Customs House Pantomime
The Customs House's family pantomime, with Ray Spencer as Dame Bella. A Young at Heart performance runs on 11 December.
About This Event
Chaos comes to Cooksonville as the Customs House puts its own twist on Sleeping Beauty. When the fairy Melania curses the palace, Dame Bella and the ever-eager Dennis must hunt down every last spinning wheel before the Princess meets her fate, with song, slapstick, feuding fairies and a dragon along the way. Ray Spencer returns as Dame Bella, with Glen Richard Townsend as Dennis and Steven Lee Hamilton as Melania. The script is by Ray Spencer and Graeme Thompson, directed by Natasha Haws.
