Harlequin Youth Theatre presents Sleeping Beauty, by Alan McHugh.

This isn’t your ordinary Sleeping Beauty…

Transported to the mysterious Scottish Islands, this wickedly funny panto is packed with spooky surprises, magical mayhem and laugh-out-loud chaos perfect for Halloween!

At the christening of Princess Eilidh, her three fairy godmothers gather to bestow their blessings — until the celebrations are spectacularly interrupted by the wicked Bonjela, the younger twin sister of King Hector. She’s not a demon, devil or dementor… she’s far worse — an evil dentist!

Furious at being denied her rightful place as Queen, Bonjela unleashes a terrifying curse: before her 18th birthday, Princess Eilidh will prick her finger on a needle and die! Can the fairies keep her safe? Or will Bonjela’s chilling spell finally succeed?

Expect larger-than-life characters, outrageous dame antics, toe-tapping songs, dazzling dancing and plenty of ghostly Halloween fun along the way. A frightfully fabulous family panto for all ages!

Witch Hunt is a thrilling new musical inspired by the Scottish witch trials.

When a ruthless King declares war on witches, fear spreads and three women are accused, hunted, and forced to run for their lives.
