Based on the Academy Award winning animated feature, the stage version includes all the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr Menken and Tim Rice. The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. This "tale as old as time" is a great opportunity to bring the entire community together for family theatre at its best.

And sing songs of love.

And always stay true,
The Fairies will be there,
To watch over you!

Farm Kids.

There are kids that grow up normal
and drink milk out of a bottle.
And then there are the farm kids
who have lives lived at full throttle.

To farm kids it is normal
to spend days out in the sun.
Climbing trees and getting muddy
is their idea of fun.

Helping to move cattle,
standing in a gap.
Knowing the small difference
between a mushroom and Death Cap.

Feeding lambs by bottle,
holding the torch for Dad.
Helping with a calving,
the happy times and sad.

Knowing the importance
of shutting all the gates.
Talking to the chickens
with a dog that's your best mate.

A little pair of overalls
Spending life in wellies,
helping in the parlour
not caring if you're smelly.

Knowing names of flowers,
picking out the weeds.
Pulling up the thistles
before they make the seeds.

Taking out the sandwiches
and sitting in the fields.
Listening to the cowman
talking about the yields.

Knowing what needs doing,
learning common sense.
Handing out the staples
when Dad's mending an old fence.

Learning to drive a tractor
before you're even ten.
You'll know when you are ready,
no one can tell you when.

Riding a small pony
over little home made jumps.
Not caring about bruises
scratches and lumps and bumps.

Sliding down snowy hillsides
on bags stuffed full of straw,
making dens in tree tops
who could want for more.

Going home exhausted
with a smile upon your face
pockets full of conkers
a life no one could replace!
Poem by Jan Millward©

Well, you're walkin' through a city street, you could be yin Peru
And you hear a distant calling and you know it's meant for you
Then you drop what you were doing and you join the merry mob
And before you know just where you are, you're in an Irish pub.

Why not experience the true Irish pub scene

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
W.B. Yeats

Oh to have a little house,
To own the hearth and stool and all,
The heaped up sods upon the fire,
The pile of turf against the wall.
