THEATREGOERS to the Playbox in Warwick are being promised an exotic, haunting and magical spectacle at the world premiere of Ron Hutchinson's new play Beyond Beauty.

The story begins where the well-known tale of Sleeping Beauty ends and takes audiences on a journey beyond the original tale, following all the characters after the so- called 'happy ever after' ending of the original. Ron Hutchinson, a prolific screenwriter based in Los Angeles, was especially commissioned by the Playbox Theatre to create the work for the company.

Beyond Beauty runs from next Tuesday to January 7. Tickets from £7.50 to £4.50 are available by contacting the box office on 01926 419555.
