Theatre: Accessible Performances: The Everyman present Beauty and the Beast Directed by Catherine Mahon-Buckley

The Everyman Theatre and CADA present Beauty and the Beast Directed by Catherine Mahon-Buckley.

The Christmas panto with accessible performances starting on Saturday 2 December 2023 until Sunday 14 January  2024 Live at The Everyman Theatre in Cork.

Cork’s favourite traditional family Panto is back. Oh yes, it is! Be our guest for a tale as old as pantomime with Beauty and the Beast.

In a little town (somewhere in Cork, like!), the beautiful Belle dreams of so much more than her simple life. When she discovers a castle (think Blarney or Blackrock) frozen in time under the spell of an enchanted rose and ruled over by a terrible Beast who was once a handsome prince, she must learn to look beyond his appearance if love is to save the day.

With talking teapots, singing candlesticks and clever clocks, this classic tale will delight a whole new generation. Featuring the usual zany gang bringing you non-stop Panto fun, it is directed by the zaniest of them all, Catherine Mahon Buckley.
