TYLDESLEY Little Theatre's pantomime has not one but three dames on offer this year . . . oh yes it does.

The production of Beauty and the Beast intends to triple the fun in a traditional mix of outrageous comedy and heroic actions.

The dames preparing to step into their best frocks are Tony Thompson, Garth Waddup and Denis Beardsworth.

In true traditional fashion, the handsome prince is turned into an angry Beast by a shunned evil witch. He roams the earth in that shape until the day a beautiful girl grants him a kiss.

Ian Taylor directs the show, which features appearances from young and experienced members of the company.

The show runs from December 1 to 8. Tickets are available from 01204 655619 or 01942 886908.
