For the first time in a long time, there’s no Fine Time Fontayne when Oldham Coliseum Theatre’s renowned traditional family pantomime Sleeping Beauty runs from next Saturday to January 7.
After breaking his ankle in rehearsals, the Coliseum’s regular Pantomime Dame is unable to perform. The role of Nanny Nutty will be played by Simeon Truby, another Coliseum pantomime regular, originally cast as King Cuthbert.
Sleeping Beauty features a cast of other Coliseum panto favourites: Justine Elizabeth Bailey and Richard J Fletcher plus new faces Demi Goodman and Sara Sadeghi and, last seen at the Coliseum for Our Gracie in March, Liz Carney and David Westbrook.
