Beauty and the Beast is coming to Cumbria with a special outdoor theatre production.
Celebrating their 25th anniversary, the Chapterhouse Theatre Company will be bringing their version of the classic tale to Holker Hall on July 21 at 4pm.
This unique open-air production promises to be a show to remember, designed to entertain people of all ages.
Star of the story Belle has always dreamed of having incredible adventures like her father but when she is summoned to the mysterious hilltop castle surrounded by thorns and meets its transfigured residents, she soon realises that there is magic in more than just her father’s tall tales.
Presented with a cast of characterful puppets, the company will be combining the whimsy of the narrative with the beauty of the gardens that Holker Hall was to offer.
Chapterhouse Theatre Company produces critically acclaimed UK and international tours, specialising in Shakespeare, classic literature adaptations, and family shows.
Originally founded to tour outdoor productions of Shakespeare in 1999, they have continued to grow and thrive, with their latest performances encapsulating everything they have learnt since the beginning.
The new year marks the company’s 25th anniversary of touring theatre, which celebrates a quarter-century of shows including outdoor theatre, music concerts, a yearly Christmas tour that has starred at The British Museum, and bi-annual theatre tours of China.
