Sleeping Beauty

Our biennial pantomime returned to Mornington Hall this year with the tale of 'Sleeping Beauty'. All the ingredients 

of the genre were on display: wicked witches with an evil sidekick; good fairies; larger than life nannies; a locked door, a curse and secret key; a king and queen; incompetent palace employees; a singalong and the joyous wedding of a prince and princess. A UV scene representing the the prince battling against a forest of thorns and the threatening creatures with, went down especially well. The story of an awakening after 100 years was particularly pertinent for CADOS, as this year also saw us marking the centenary of our wonderful venue, Mornington Hall. and our production certainly awakened the spirit creativity, stagecraft and a shared sense of community and fun across the five performances.
