2000s: What could be more magical at Christmas than a fairy tale come true?
Fairytale for Christmas
What you need to know before your trail
It’s the festive season and the members of the Newbay Theatre Society, more commonly known as the NEWTS, are preparing to put on a show. Being cast as Cinderella is the realization of a dream for newcomer Kirsty, not least because she hopes starring in a panto under the direction of her boyfriend Jon will bring them closer together.
But Kirsty soon learns that it’s not all glitter and good cheer behind the scenes at the amateur theatre as bitter rivalries nurtured through decades, wardrobe mishaps and suspicious near-fatal accidents threaten to derail the production. And then there’s Prince Charming himself. Will working together with Jon bring Kirsty her happy ever after… or reveal their love to be nothing but a ‘showmance’?
Travel Guide
Newbay (Devon)
Newbay might be fictional but the beauty of Devon is not! Imagine a town where the focus is on the pantomime in the build up to Christmas . Two people who met on a cruise ship and then end up in Newbay where there might be a happy ending or where something may well indeed end up behind them.
This is the world of the pantomime – of cosy nights in and the fun and frolics of watching what goes on behind the scene of a Christmas production. Wear your wig and your face paint with pride and then you”want to read this even more. Oh yes you will!
