What is Beauty and the Beast – A Horny Love Story about?
Step into Lickmanochers, a hilariously bleak Scottish village where sweet but naive Bertie - dutiful son to a domineering mother - wonders when Mr Right will rock up. Instead, he’s lured into captivity by a moody, aristocratic Beast with unruly body hair and a castle badly in need of a makeover. As snow blankets the castle, passions ignite in this enemies‑to‑lovers rom‑com that gleefully turns the classic tale upside down. With outrageous humour, original music and plenty of panto flair, this is a festive treat like none other - strictly for adults!
Created by He’s Behind You!, the cheeky adult panto troupe behind hits like Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick! and Jack and the Beanstalk: What a Whopper!, this production transforms the beloved fairytale into a bold, queer, festive rom‑com.

Adult Panto, based on a traditional fairy tale that has been adapted in a VERY original, rude & funny way. If a few swear words offend you, then this is not the show for you, but me & my companions loved it !!
