Flint Street Nativity
For Yeadon Amateur's autumn play we are proud to present 'Flint Street Nativity', directed by Adam Gregory and written by Tim Firth (who wrote 'Calendar Girls').
Mizzis Horrocks' class of seven year olds is about to perform their nativity play at Flint Street Junior School for the proud mums and dads - and the occasional social worker. Squabbles arise when Gabriel wants to play Mary, the Star grumbles he's not a proper star like they have at NASA, Herod won't stop waving to his mum and dad and the subversive Innkeeper is determined to liven up the traditional script. And then the stick insect escapes...
"Exposes what an ungodly snake pit of paediatric power-politics the staging of your average Nativity play can be... There are moments when you may wet yourself laughing." Alfred Hickling, Guardian.
Tickets are £9 and £8 concessions - available from Joan on 0113 250 5587 or Linda on 250 3032.

Beauty and the Beast
The charming stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning Disney animation, Beauty and the Beast relates the story of Belle, a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father; when he inadvertently offends the Beast (a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself), Belle boldly takes her father's place, imprisoned in the Beast's gloomy mansion, and gradually teaches him how to love and be loved.
Featuring a winning coterie of supporting characters (the Beast's mansion is overrun by quipping, dancing household items such as Lumiere the maître d’ - turned candelabra and Mrs Potts, the housekeeper- turned -tea pot) and an array of beautiful and hilarious songs by composer Alan Menken and the late, lamented lyricist Howard Ashman, this show is sure to entrance both young and old.
