Beauty and the Beast

4th December 2025 @ 10:00 am - 3rd January 2026 @ 9:30 pm

£12.00

A Northern Stage production

By Lucy Kirkwood 

Devised by Katie Mitchell and Lucy Kirkwood 

“I expect you have been told fairytales before. But you have never really heard a fairytale until you have heard it told by a real fairy.” 

A stolen rose spells bad news for our heroine Belle and her unfortunate dad in this enchantingly wicked retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Families are invited to join our narrators – two mischievous fairies – a ‘Thoughtsnatcher machine’, and a helpful rabbit to experience this tale as old as time in new and touching ways for Christmas 2025.  

With music provided by the fleas and flies, lices and louses of the Insect Orchestra, you’ll find yourself in rural France with an eclectic cast of characters as the Prince hopes to lift a disgruntled fairy’s beastly spell. 

Northern Stage’s adaptation of Beauty and the Beast puts a magical and hilarious twist on a much-loved story for new audiences and fans of the original tale.
