AbigailWelford

The icing on the cake is our truly talented professional cast. Returning for another season of pantomime madness and mayhem is the loveable Leeds favourite Jez Edwards, playing Pierre. And of course panto wouldn’t be panto without a villain – and Denise Nolan as Witch Hazel has all the spells and sorcery to put the Count of Cristi Monto into a complete head spin that turns him into a mean and moody Beast.

Will he ever ditch the bad attitude and fi nd happiness? Maybe with the love of Beauty, our Beast could be tamed in time for a happy-ever-after ending…

BenPalmer

With an action-packed, bang-up-to-datescript, high energy choreography, dazzling

costumes full of glitz and glamour, and a generous supply of laugh-out-loud comedy with plenty of audience participation, Beauty and the Beast

is the must-see show this Christmas!

Daniel Bye presents

The Price of Everything How much is beauty worth? What will people pay for an air guitar on eBay? And can I have a glass of milk?These urgent questions and others are answered in The Price of Everything, a performance lecture about value. Daniel Bye’s whistlestop tour of bizarre facts and impassioned arguments is occasionally shambolic and often opinionated – but always a joy to watch.Comic, provocative, and possibly a tiny bit sad, this show is a must if you’ve ever wondered about the di� erence between the price of an object and its value.And you get a free glass of milk.

Proper Job Theatre Company presents

The Great Gatsby The story of the American Dream re-imagined for the post-credit crunch era. Adapted from the 20th century American classic byF Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby examines issues of class divide, social corruption and the pursuit of wealth. As we fi nd ourselves struggling to come to terms with the impact of the credit crunch, the old truth still remains: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.In this version Proper Job does what it does best, giving the story an unrivalled beautyand physicality. The result is a visceral experience, which communicates across language, age and culture.

You’re Not Like theOther Girls Chrissy January 1945. Paris has been liberated.

Whilst she waits, this gloriously irrepressible mademoiselle recounts the story of her love a� air with Cyril, a tongue-tied English teacher from Sta� ordshire. From a chance encounter at Cheadle tennis club, their story takes us on to a cosmopolitan 1930s Paris before war interrupts their unlikely romance.

“…a� ecting physical theatre”THE TIMES

“Brave, heartfelt and far fromsubtle, he takes on some of the most di� cult and divisive ills in our society and turns them into vividagit-pop art”THE TIMES

Caravaggio: Exile and Death takes the audience on a journey of a man’s search for forgiveness and redemption after a life fascinated with youth and sexuality, violence, solitude and love. Scarred by imprisonment and the Catholic Church’s dismissal of his works, the pai nter Caravaggio lived a painful and dramatic life. Combining highly physical choreography with stunning projections and a beautiful soundtrack, Darshan has created a blistering new show that tells the tempestuous story of Caravaggio’s life and art.

Thousands struggled to cope with the loss of Princess Diana, Jade Goody, Michael Jackson and even, occasionally, their own loved ones.

She would like to provide some moral support, Dutch courage and perhaps a musical accompaniment to inspire you at this testing time.The piece will be accompanied by guest speaker event Breaking the Ice. Before the performance, a professional clinician will join Ellie to discuss creative and therapeutic practices in relation to overcoming trauma and grief.
