The Shipwright annual pantomime is back!
Once upon a dream, Sleeping Beauty was the perfect panto. But this year, everything is topsy-turvy in Deptford.
Not that Princess Aurora minds - she’s more of a Princess A’Whora and actually quite likes it upside down. But our Witch is no good (she’s too nice and not evil). And Prince Charming is just a bit of a dick. But he can sing. They can all sing!
So come and let us sing your socks off (you shouldn’t wear them in bed anyway). From the creative team that brought you The Pied Piper and The Emperor’s New Clothes comes a night of festive fun, new songs and oh yes she is behind you (oo-er!). Don’t sleep on it.
What is Pay What You Can?
The Saver, Standard and Supporter tickets all get the same experience, but we let you choose which one’s right for you. We suggest you get a Standard ticket, but if times are tough, the Saver ticket is just as good! If you can spare a few more quid, then buying a Supporter ticket helps us keep making great shows at the Shipwright and helps to pay-it-forward for those buying a Saver ticket.
We believe passionately in the accessibility of art (err, pantomime) for everyone, and that no-one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. If the Saver ticket is still too much, and you’d love to see the show, get in touch with general@theshipwright.co.uk and we’ll see what we can do.
Other Ways To Save
If you live on Watergate Street or are a member of one of our partner engagement groups then you can come to any event for free. We can offer two tickets per show on the day so long as the show isn’t already sold out - find out more here.
