THERE’S only a few sleeps left until Beauty and the Beast arrives at The Hexagon.

The pantomime, from Imagine Theatre, stars CBeebies megstar Justin Fletcher and his panto partner in mayhem, Paul Morse.

Mr Fletcher has written the script – his second, and it will be packed full of fun, laughter, thrills and songs.

The team have been hard at work rehearsing for Saturday’s curtain up, working from its base in South Street Arts Centre, before transferring to The Hexagon for dress rehearsals.

One thing is for sure: with panto it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t go alright on the night … that’s half the fun of it.

Oh yes it is!
