This heart-warming and enchanting adventure is the classic
love story of Belle, a young woman in a small provincial town,
and the Beast, who is really a Prince trapped in a spell. If the
Beast can learn to love and to be loved, the spell will be broken
and he will be transformed back to his former self. However,
time is running out, and if the Beast does not learn his lesson
soon before the last rose dies he will be forever trapped!
See how the hilarious Muddles ( Ian ‘H’ Watkins ) unknowingly
goes to work in the Beast’s castle. Boo and hiss as he
stands up to the vain and pompous ‘Anton’ who tries
to bully Belle into marrying him.
Don’t miss this wonderful pantomime ending with a fantastic
STEPS medley, with members of the audience having a chance
to perform on stage with ‘H’. Join us for a great night out
and kids come dressed as your favourite character!

real Women, real lives.
Tailor-made for women, The Naked Truth is the hit
comedy play from dave Simpson, the writer of the
smash-hit comedy Girls Night Out, starring Maureen
Nolan and claire king (Emmerdale), Michelle Heaton
(Liberty X) and leanne Jones (Olivier award winning
star of Hairspray).
Set in a pole dancing class (the latest get-fit craze)
The Naked Truth is a brilliantly funny comedy about
sisterhood. it’s a women thing, as five very different
women struggle hilariously to conquer pole dancing
for an event to raise awareness and money for a
breast cancer charity. As their stories unfold and
unravel, they share laughter and tears in this
hilarious, sad and ultimately moving play.
The Naked Truth is a poignant and uplifting comedy,
a call to all women, and celebrating strength through
adversity. it’s a show for women, about women,
that men absolutely must see (if they dare!).
