First look images are released for Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick! a sublimely silly and staggeringly rude fabulous festive treat bursting with big laughs, sensational songs, glorious designs  and all the panto trimmings!

Cast: Matthew Baldwin, Nikki Biddington, Natalia Brown, Matthew Gent, Myles Hart,  Chris Lane, Tom Mann, Jordan Stamatiadis, Fin Walton.

Journey back in time to the tiny kingdom of Slutvia and a 21st birthday ball, where the haughty but horny widowed Queen Gertrude is on the prowl for a husband, and her son Prince Beauty searches for the boy of his dreams. When he stumbles on a prick in the palace garden, he wakes up in a modern world where palaces are run by the National Trust and the man of your dreams is somewhere on Grindr…

Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick! is from the creative team behind the now-closed Above The Stag Theatre’s legendary Christmas shows, which placed gay characters front and centre in much-loved fairy­tales, adventures and legends. Widely acknowledged as a highlight of the festive theatre season and the most successful alternative pantomime series in the country, the team’s irreverent and inventive shows played packed-out runs for over a decade, the most recent playing 70 performances, building a large and loyal audience and winning critical acclaim, as well as praise from stars including Ian McKellen and Graham Norton.

Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick! is written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper with original songs by Jon Bradfield.
