THE Magical Adventures of Sleeping Beauty is heading to the Princes Theatre in Clacton this Christmas.
The panto will run from December 5 to December 29, and tells the classic story of Princess Beauty, who is cursed by the evil Carabosse to prick her finger on a spinning wheel on her 21st birthday.
With the help of her fairy, a brave prince and some panto magic, audiences will find out whether love, laughter, and a battle with a dragon can save the day.
Gary Scott, councillor responsible for arts, culture and heritage at Tendring Council, said: "A trip to the panto is a lovely way to get into the Christmas spirit and spend time with family and friends.
"Whether it’s an annual tradition or your first visit, we’d love to welcome you to the Princes Theatre this December for a Christmas treat full of laughter and fairy-tale magic."
The first performance begins at 1pm on Saturday, December 5 with all tickets costing £15.50.
To make the pantomime accessible to everyone, a relaxed and British Sign Language (BSL) interpreted performance will take place at 6pm on Thursday, December 17.
Mr Scott said: "We want more people to be able to enjoy that experience, which is why we’re offering a relaxed and BSL-interpreted performance, with adjustments to the lighting and sound and the freedom to move around or make noise.
"It’s a chance for more families to enjoy the laughs, spectacle and festive fun of a Clacton panto together."
James Shone of Shone Productions, which is presenting the show, said: "Christmas panto is all about bringing people together for a good laugh, and we can’t wait to share Sleeping Beauty with audiences at the Princes Theatre.
"With all tickets for the opening performance at £15.50, it’s a good chance to come along and see the show for less."
