About this Event
Something wonderful to look forward to!
Book now for our enchanting family pantomime, the timeless, magical fairy tale of The Sleeping Beauty.
Come and join the Benvenuto Players for a hilarious romp through this much-loved tale of romance, intrigue, betrayal and love.
A witch curses a newborn princess to die on her 16th birthday. However, a fairy alters the curse, allowing the princess to survive by going into a deep sleep that can only be broken by true love's kiss.
We have the pleasure in presenting this special ‘post COVID’ edition.
This year we have teamed up with the Duse theatre in Besozzo and the comune of Besozzo for three performances.
