Thank you for the well written and informative programme – especially for the list of songs which is so often not included and makes our life so much easier. Also many thanks for the reference to the SFD and the…

Back to the Brewhouse and back to a panto spectacular with lots of glitter and pyro’s at the ready. This year the script by Alan Frayn was an interesting combination which had echoes of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast with a handful of panto characters and a sitcom beauty parlour and its staff thrown in for good measure.

(Full Review from Sue Goodman of the Gazette) Wow! The Wayfarers are back at the Brewhouse, and better than ever. “Beauty and the Beast” isn’t a traditional pantomime, and this production, under Brian Epps’ inspired direction, uses both traditional and modern elements to create a wonderful show. The evening fizzed with energy from start to finish. Everyone on stage knew exactly what they were doing, and gave it all they’d got, which was plenty. Special praise must go to the…

Father Christmas arrived at Monkton Elm Garden Centre and the Wayfarers were there to meet them. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and met lots of lovely people, all of whom said they would be there to see Beauty and the Beast. This might have been down to Fairy Flora and some magic dust, but hopefully when the magic has warn off they will want to have that warm feeling again and book their tickets! Here are some pictures from the…
