Casting has been announced for Charles Court Opera’s boutique pantomime Rumpelstiltskin, which plays at Park Theatre from 13 December 2022 - 14 January 2023.

CCO favourite and Offie-nominated Philip Lee, and rising star comedian Emily Cairns (shortlisted for The BBC New Comedy Awards and a semi-finalist in the 2022 Funny Women Awards) will appear in the show alongside newcomers Tamoy Phipps and Lucy Whitney.

The writing team behind last year’s Offie Award-winning hit, Beowulf, are back with a completely re-imagined, madcap fairy tale with a brand new script by John Savournin and new music and lyrics by David Eaton, with Savournin also directing, musical direction by Eaton and choreography by David Hulston.

John Savournin said: “I’m so delighted to be presenting CCO’s new Christmas panto at the fantastic Park Theatre. Rumpelstiltskin is a brilliant fairytale, ideal for a CCO festive makeover, and we’re so excited about all the off-the-wall mischief we have up our sleeves for audiences.”
