Don’t miss Cornwall’s must-see Christmas Show - SLEEPING BEAUTY showing at St Ives Guildhall & Princess Pavilion, Falmouth.

Welcome in the festive season with the return of Miracle Theatre’s much-loved Christmas Show at not one, but two venues! Round up family, friends and neighbours and ready yourselves for a re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty. Opening on the 8 th of December with matinees and evening performances until New
Year’s Eve!

This winter, Miracle’s Christmas tale will follow the adventures of a resourceful princess with insomnia when a resentful fairy’s wicked spell goes horribly wrong...

The Sleeping Beauty cast will feature Miracle regulars Ben Dyson, Holly Cassidy and Ben Kernow, who willbe joined by Charlotte Bister (Owdyado Theatre) and Katy Owen (Wise Children, Kneehigh, Shakespeare’s Globe). Together, they form a high-energy ensemble ready to bring you more magical musical mayhem this Christmas. This re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty, has been written by Bill Scott and Tom Adams, and will be co-directed by Hannah Stephens and Bill Scott.

Seasoned actor, Hannah Stephens, will be stepping away from the stage and into the Miracle director’s chair for the first time this Winter. Having starred as Hawkins (Treasure Island 2019), Aladdin (2018), and Ratty (Cinderella 2016), Hannah has the insider knowledge to make sure this show will jam-packed with all the festive cheer of a Miracle performance; dances, guffaws and all. Even grandma won’t be falling asleep during this show as families follow the adventures of a quick-witted princess!

Writer and Co-Director, Bill Scott, says:
“Miracle is proud of its tradition of producing alternative pantos that appeal to all ages in equal measure!
This Christmas, we will be turning the clocks back to 1959 and inviting audiences for an outing to the famous Cornwall Riviera Holiday Camp, where among other marvellous entertainment, they will be offered a magical, musical retelling of Sleeping Beauty.”“This production follows Miracle’s popular ‘show-within-a show’ format, ensuring the audience has twice as much fun! While they enjoy an original and hilarious rendition of the classic fairy tale, they can watch actors from a bygone era coping with backstage hitches and personality clashes, while trying to keep the show going, often against impossible odds!”

Miracle’s ingenious approach welcomes audiences to enjoy all the fun of behind-the-scenes whilst still being wrapped up in the magic of a fairy-tale performance. Sleeping Beauty will be performed throughout December, at two family-friendly venues in Falmouth & St Ives and will be driven by Dales.
