Sleeping Beauty casts its magical spell over the Nottingham Playhouse this Christmas season in a dazzling new production directed and written by Adam Penford. With a talented cast led by the beloved John Elkington as Nelly the Nanny and supported by regional stars and newcomers alike, this pantomime promises to delight with stunning costumes, sparkling special effects and plenty of laughs, gasps and cheers.

Follow Princess Rose as she succumbs to Maleficent’s wicked curse, sending the kingdom into an enchanted slumber. Only the magic of true love can break the spell, but first, a brave Prince must battle his way through a twisted forest to awaken her. With a Young Chorus drawn from across the East Midlands and all the pantomime charm you could wish for, this festive extravaganza is truly made in Nottingham for the people of Nottingham.
