“Great family experience”: Beauty and the Beast

For the first time Little Wolf Entertainment will co-produce Derby LIVE’s panto and will present Beauty and the Beast at Derby Arena.

Derby LIVE’S head of culture and business development Peter Ireson said, “we’re excited to work together with Little Wolf to take panto in Derby to new heights.

“Such levels of theatrical accomplishment would be admirable in producers with decades of experience; to have it from two directors in their 30s is remarkable. We’re sure that Beauty and Beast will be fantastic and deliver a great family experience.”

Little Wolf co-founder and producer Morgan Brind cut his teeth with Derby Playhouse Youth Theatre before attending Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

He said, “we’re delighted to be working with the fantastic team at Derby LIVE to create a new production of Beauty and the Beast with a truly local feel and an exciting star cast that’ll be announced soon.”

Beauty and the Beast will run at Derby Arena from Tuesday 5 December until Sunday 31 December.
