This years Act One alternative Pantomime. First time writer-directors Oliver Milburn and John Wittles kick the proverbial crap out of Disney's classic animated fairy tale 'Beauty and the Beast', wipping up its bloody remains with a gammy dish cloth and squeezing it into a big shiny comedy bucket that already brims with a high school election story, ridiculously costumed sexual acts, a wicked witch and more popular cultural references than Amy Whinehouse could cram up her nose.
Watch as Devon Prince, local chav, is transformed by the wicked witch of Wales and thrown into the student community of Cardiff University. Devon must learn to live with not only his grotesque appearance but also with the "9p-noodle-eating-scum" that surround him. Meeting both friends and enemies on the way, we follow Devon on his journey into studentism and the chaos that is Election week. Can the curse be broken? Probably. Will he ever escape? Doubtful. Will he somehow enter the election, meet the love of his life, be spurned by her, change accordingly, be accepted by her and live happily ever after in harmony with the community that surrounds him? Well ... that would be telling, wouldn't it.
