Sleeping Beauty the Panto on Thursday 22nd December 2022
It's Panto season!
This year at Rainton Arena we will be presenting the timeless tale of “Sleeping Beauty” written by, directed and starring – the North East's much-loved pantomime villain Neil Armstrong.
Bring the family along to witness Seaham Harbour's legendary baddie “Rupert Von Rottenchops”(Neil Armstrong) as he attempts to gate-crash the beautiful Princess Briar Rose's (Thea Jo Wolfe) eighteenth birthday party, send her to sleep and take over the fair kingdom of County Durham.
Rottenchops has a poisoned Spinning Wheel and he intends to use it! If successful the Princess will sleep for all eternity. Only a Handsome Prince, Dame Nanny Nutter (Paul Dunn) and her equally nutty son “Muddles” (Vanessa Karon) stand in his way. Will he succeed or will good conquer evil? Find out in this rip-roaring, all singing. all dancing. fantastic family pantomime - featuring a full cast, live music, spectacular visuals and bucket load of local laughs!
