THE SWORD IN THE STONE

Join our heroes Pip (Fair City’s Amilia Stewart) and her brother Archie (Gavin Ryan) on their quest through the panto-sphere to claim the Sword of Hope and save Merryville. Eoin Cannon returns as the narcissistic baddie King Joffrey who fools the village into thinking that he has already raised the magical sword himself, while our Panto stalwarts and audience favorites’ Aidan Mannion (Laurel), Colin Hughes (Buddy) & James Deegan (Kevin the Gnome) guarantee an adventure laden with laughs and unbridled mischief. Finally, Chris Corroon (Lola) and Jacqueline Brunton (Windermere) will once again dazzle us in their fabulous frocks, amazing hair-do’s and diva-esque attitudes.

So, come join Archie and Pip on their magical adventure of intrigue excitement and fun.

Who will be the one to finally free the Sword from the Stone and rightfully claim the crown?

Will they all live happily ever after?
