Francesca Goodridge and Daniel Lloyd, Associate Directors of Theatr Clwyd said: "We are delighted to be directing the legendary Theatr Clwyd pantomime this year.

"The two of us have so much love for the Clwyd panto and, to get to step off the stage and direct it is proof that dreams can come true in real life - and not just in fairy tales! This will be a brand-new experience for our audiences as the Big Top promises to deliver rockin’ panto on a scale we’ve never seen before - it’s going to be a treat!

"Our terrific team is made up of some familiar faces and some exciting new debut performances. We will have all the silly gags, all the panto magic, and tunes that will rock your socks off…with some new surprises along the way of course. Strap in - It’s going to be big and bold, colourful, and Christmassy.

"We can’t wait to share it with you all!"

Sleeping Beauty can be seen at Theatr Clwyd (Big Top) from Thursday, November 30 2023 to Saturday, January 6, 2024.
