Oh yes it is – it’s Sleeping Beauty at the Corn Exchange

Last Friday, Sleeping Beauty raised its curtain for the very first time this festive season, as families of Newbury and beyond came to experience this spell-binding production at the Corn Exchange Newbury.

This year’s pantomime is written and directed by Plested and Brown (Clare Plested, Adam Brown and Amanda Wilsher).  Together they have created a jam-packed show full of silliness, songs to sing along to, stunning dance routines and plenty of magic and sparkle.

Feedback from audiences has so far been overwhelmingly positive and many performances are now sold out or have limited availability.  So snap up your tickets now – to miss Sleeping Beauty would be a nightmare!

Adult Nights

A special feature for grown-ups is the Adult Night performances. 

For a fun grown-up night out the Adult Nights are a great way to get into the festive spirit with a few extra innuendos and the silliness ramped up.
