St Austell Players, are flying into town this year with a veritable Axminster of a panto woven with tales of daring do and piles of laughs!

Sinbad is the Players' third pantomime and they are set to out-do their success last year when one of their Ugly Sisters "Millipede" played by Sam Teague, scooped Best Youth Award from the Cornwall Drama Association .

Drawn the exotic Arabian Nights Fairy Tales, the story takes you to meet Ali Baba and the Genie of the Lamp and claim your three wishes. Be beguiled by the twisting tales told by Queen Scheherazade. Travel the continents with Marco Polo. Follow the trials and tribulations of the young and beautiful Kaladar Prince and of course you can boo and hiss to your hearts content at the wicked Kaliban.

Sinbad is performing at St Austell Arts Theatre & Community Centre on Truro Road from Tues 9th to Sat 13th January at 7.30pm as well as a matinee on Sat 13th matinee at 2.30pm. Tickets £6 adults and £3 under 16s. Call to book on 01726 77600.
