You won’t want to sleep on Oxford Playhouse’s Sleeping Beauty, kicking off panto season with a time-travelling twist on the classic tale. Set to a feel-good soundtrack of hits from ABBA to Chappell Roan, follow Aurora from 985 AD to 1985 AD as she’s thrust into a world of glitter, glamour and shoulder pads, and must recruit the help of some brand new friends to find her way home. Kids will be swept away by the fairytale fun, and grown-ups get a delightful hit of 80s nostalgia, featuring cameos from some icons of the era you might recognise…
LOOKING AHEAD - Have a ball at the Cornerstone with their panto-season extravaganza, Cinderella! With gags, drag and plenty of magic, KD Theatre Productions presents a high-camp and high energy retelling of the rags-to-riches fairytale, as Cinderella escapes the clutches of her Wicked Stepsisters with the help of her Fairy Godmother to attend the ball of her dreams - well, if the glass slipper fits…
Sleeping Beauty: Oxford Playhouse, until Sun 5th Jan 25, times vary, tickets from £15
Cinderella: Cornerstone Arts Centre (Didcot), Wed 18th to Tue 31st Dec, times vary, £26 (£21)
