Cinderella and the Beanstalk

Cinderella and the Beanstalk: A festive treat for those who like their Christmas pantos with a twist.

Josh, John and James have written a pantomime. It's a riotous adventure with a whole host of exciting characters. They have fashioned the props, hired the costumes, booked the venue and rigged the lights; the stage is set. But on arriving at the theatre they realise they have forgotten one vital component: a cast.

A glorious cocktail of your favourite pantomimes! Follow Cinderella on a perilous adventure as the scheming Rumple Stiltskin blackmails the would-be princess into retrieving the coveted golden eggs from the top of the beanstalk.

Cinderella must complete her quest in order to recover her glass slipper, but with Prince Charming, the Fairy Godmother and Jack's pregnant cow all doing their best to get in the way, these delicious, oversized eggs may not be so easily sought out…

Sleeping Trees are an award-winning comedy trio. This world premiere blends the classic elements of a well-loved pantomime with an astonishing range of fast, physical and bare-knuckled comedy.

Join these three performers as they recreate every character you’d expect to find in a Pantomime, as well as some you might not… whilst still doing their best to sing, dance and fight their way through ninety minutes of panto pandemonium.

The show will be directed by award winning Tom Attenborough. He has previously worked with venues such as the Chichester Festival Theatre, the Almeida Theatre and in London’s West End. In 2010, he established his own production company, Rhapsody of Words. In 2012 he was made an Associate Artist of HighTide Festival Theatre.
