Joy Productions and Broadway present

SLEEPING BEAUTY

Written and directed by Susie McKenna

Welcome to Lewishtonia, where once upon a time, a princess is born. Not invited to the celebration party, wicked fairy Carabosse casts an evil spell which changes the Princess's life forever - but can she take charge of her own destiny? 

Packed with fun for all the family, and brought right up to date, Susie McKenna has crafted a spellbinding show with colourful characters, knockabout comedy, show-stopping routines and no shortage of magic and sparkle. The perfect Gothic fairytale with a soulful twist for Christmas 2024.

Susie McKenna has been working as an actor, writer and director for over 35 years nationally, in the West End and in television and film. Susie has always worked in Pantomime from her first theatre job in the ensemble to playing Principal Boy at Nottingham Playhouse for eight years, to writing and directing Hackney Empire’s first in house pantomime, Dick Whittington, in 1988. Susie went on to write and direct (and often appear in) the Hackney Empire pantomime to great critical acclaim, up to and including the 21^st anniversary production of Dick Whittington in 2020, winning her Best Director at the Great British Pantomime Awards.

"For McKenna, pantomime is a tool of transformation, combining the fantastical and funny with familiar stories to enrich what is often people’s first (and many times only) theatre trip."

“I write the shows with the idea that you leave your adult self behind and your six-, seven-, eight-year-old self enjoys it alongside your kids and grandkids.”
