What's on in London: Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story
He's behind you!
If an adult pantomime is part of your festive season traditions, you'll probably want to check out Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story.
Created by the pantomime experts, He's Behind You!, this fresh take on the classic fairytale leans into the camp drama of an enemies-to-lovers narrative arc.
Set in the frostbitten Scottish village of Lickmanochers, this furry-tale follows innocent Bertie - a devoted son to his overbearing mother determined to wait for Mr Right - as he finds himself the prisoner of a decidedly wrong, aristocratic beast. In spite of this uncouth brute's moodiness, unruly body hair and castle in drastic need of a makeover, as the snow falls it's not just the tension that rises.
Written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper, and directed by Andrew Beckett, the cast for this production includes Matthew Baldwin and Chris Lane.
"You could say that the Beauty and the Beast story taps into ideas about body image, isolation and relationships in the gay community in today’s online world..." says Jon Bradfield, writer of the show. "But as we’re not Arts Council funded, we're making a very silly and embarrassingly rude romantic comedy, and I cannot wait to make magic, laughter and spectacle again with my wonderful creative family, and to share some heartwarming winter laughter with our brilliant audience."
Beauty and the Beast: A Horny Love Story will run at the Charing Cross Theatre from 21 November until 11 January
