Synopsis
The tale of the sleeping beauty - sleeping under the spell of a wicked witch until her Prince Charming comes to wake her up.
Our Review:
Anne Morley-Priestman - 16 December 2011
They like to put a spin on their pantomimes in Norwich nowadays. Richard Gauntlett – who knows all about these things – has written the script (to which most of the actors on stage adhere) and also plays Nurse Peggy Pickle (you don’t want to be on her round of home visits). Carabosse in this variation is the evil Queen Bracken (Helen Fraser) and the good-fairy influence is transmuted into court inventor and adviser Leonardo (David Gant).
It is Leonardo who sets the scene for us as he sits comfortably in his armchair high above stage level. The king and queen of Utopia have been killed in Bracken’s take-over; their baby daughter Hope (Hayley Tamaddon) has been brought up in hiding by the Pickles. She has only a talisman stone for legacy– cue excellent laser effects throughout – and Bracken must find her and negate the powers in the stone before Hope reaches her 18th birthday. As the story opens, that’s the very next day.
