Beauty and the Beast

Join Great Whelnetham Players for their 2024 pantomime Beauty and the Beast.

Beauty and the Beast tells the story of a Prince transformed into a Beast, and his eventual redemption through the love of a girl called Belle.

Our panto version concerns an ill-fated bet between Fairy Rose and the evil Witch Greenfly. This leads to the Prince being turned into a beast by Witch Greenfly. If he is to break free from her spell, then he must find somebody to love him before the last petal on an enchanted rose falls.

This Beauty and the Beast panto contains many traditional pantomime characters. It also has a couple of hilarious scenes featuring Belle’s ugly stepsisters and the Beast.

A Limelight script with minor adaptations to fit our cast.
