Critics are loving our new production of Beauty and the Beast.

The first reviews are in and most enjoyed the comedy elements of the play with the Lancaster Guardian describing it as 'a lot of fun' and the Big Issue in the North saying there were 'laughs aplenty' while the British Theatre Guide also emphasised the 'knock-about fun and tongue-in-cheek humour in this excellent Christmas production with a strong cast.'

A 5-star review from Whatsgoodtodo.com said it was the perfect start to the Christmas season. If you want to read the full reviews online, here are the links:
