Beauty and the Beast – Northern Stage’s Christmas Show

This Christmas Northern Stage will bring its magical reimagining of Beauty and the Beast to its iconic North East stage. A stolen rose sets everything in motion for Beauty and her unfortunate dad. Two mischievous fairies whisk us through rural France with a Thoughtsnatcher machine and a very helpful rabbit in tow. With live music from the Insect Orchestra, Northern Stage is inviting families to experience this tale as old as time in fresh, funny and unexpectedly touching ways.

In this adaptation, devised by Katie Mitchell and Lucy Kirkwood, directed by Bryony Shanahan with costume and staging by local designer Verity Quinn, Northern Stage will explore this tale as old as time that families know and love.
