Beauty and the Beast

A magical re-telling of the tale of Beauty and the Beast, first performed in this version by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

When Beauty's father hears that his long-lost ship packed with pearls has landed safely in harbour, he sets out on a long, difficult journey to claim his fortune and rescue his family from poverty.

But when, stumbling across a magic world belonging to a fearsome beast, he picks a rose as a present for his favourite daughter, the family find themselves in a nightmarish predicament from which only Beauty can rescue them...

This timeless tale of the true nature of beauty and the transformational power of love is brought to glorious life on the Crescent’s main stage this Christmas.
