ADULT'S only panto returns to Southampton this week with the somewhat tongue-in-cheek 'Sleeping With Beauty'.

The "wickedly warped and fabulously frisky" production will be at The Stage Door from Wednesday December 6 until Saturday December 30.

And we are promised the seasonal saucy fun and frolics are back bigger, better and ballsier than ever before.

The storyline states that Fairy Foreplay will whisk you away to a land of lust where you'll meet the evil witch Carabossy, devilish Dame Strapon, dashing valet Dildough, plonker Playdough, the practically-imperfect in every way Prince Pompey and bonk-obsessed Beauty.

This is the fourth year of Stage Door's adult Panto in Southampton's 'Cultural Quarter' and it comes with this advice: Bring your friends/family/lovers for a night unlike ANY other. Not suitable for kids. Or prudes.

Get booking now as shows are selling out.

It runs Wed-Sat, Dec 6-30. Tickets are available in advance for £15 from www.thestagedoor.org.uk or 02380 630300, or on the door for £16.
