The John Godber Centre

Beauty and the Beast
2023-01-19 - 2023-01-22 | The John Godber Centre, Ogle Street, Hucknall, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG15 7FQ, United Kingdom
Join Lovelace Theatre Group for their 2023 panto – Beauty and the Beast
In this adaptation of the traditional tale, Beauty and the Beast tells the story of a Prince transformed into a Beast, and his eventual redemption through the love of a girl called Belle.
Our panto version begins with the vain Prince George refusing the amorous advances of an older woman, who is actually a witch. In revenge, she turns him into a horrible beast, and his servants into household objects. Doomed to die tormented and alone, his only hope is if somebody falls in love with him before the last petal on an enchanted rose falls.
The Lovelace’s production contains everything you would expect to find in a traditional panto. A classic love story, pathos, comedy and of course, a happy ending..

We all worry about things that are beyond our control and how others will respond to us, to our loved ones.
If we can be a bit more kinder, if we can have a little more understanding for others, we’ll be making the world a little better for someone else.
In someone’s dark moments let’s be the shine, let’s show them support and kindness, let’s show the world everyone should be proud of who they are and feel safe about it.
We’re proud to be hosting our rainbow disco party once more on Sunday 28th July.
We were so humbled by the stories of individuals, parents, and loved ones last time we ran this event and are looking forward to our festival of colour this July on Nottingham Pride weekend.
❤️Our disco party is the bringing together of everyone to celebrate the love and pride in our town and community.
