Cardigan Theatre’s pantomime starts at Theatr Mwldan this week, and this year they take on the classic fairytale, Sleeping Beauty.

The Princess Aurora is about to celebrate her 18th birthday and the end of a long-standing curse, but the evil fairy Maleficent is not to be thwarted!

Also including dames, princes and fairies, Sleeping Beauty is a traditional family pantomime packed with jokes, silliness and oodles of audience participation.

Performances take place on Saturday, 22 December, at 1.45pm and 7.30pm; Sunday and Monday, 23 and 24 December, at 1.45pm; and then resumes again after Christmas, from 27 to 31 December at 1.45pm.
