Northern Stage, the largest producing theatre in the North East, is shining a spotlight on homegrown talent this Christmas with its magical new production of Beauty and the Beast.
This year’s festive production, devised by Katie Mitchell and Lucy Kirkwood, directed by Bryony Shanahan, with staging and costume design by Verity Quinn, invites audiences into a magical world filled with favourite characters, live music from the Insect Orchestra, mischievous fairies, a Thoughtsnatcher machine and a very helpful rabbit, but what makes this Christmas particularly special is the incredible array of North East talent on stage.
