A FORMER Camberley school student will return to the town as a princess this Christmas.

Louise Young, who attended Collingwood College, will play Princess Aurora in Camberley Theatre's brand new adaptation of the classic fairy-tale, Sleeping Beauty.

Louise was inspired to become an actress by her drama teacher Mrs Roberts, and went on to train at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

She said: "Having grown up in Lightwater, Camberley has always held a special place in my heart. After four years of working in London, I’m so excited to bring the Christmas spirit home.”

Louise will be joined onstage by Letitia Hector, Chanai Ankrah and Monique Ashe-Palmer, who play the super soulful fairies Here, There and Everywhere; Melanie Stevens will take on the role of Carabosse, the most evil fairy of them all; while the lovable palace jester Muddles will be played by Ewan Goddard and Steve Banks will play the dashing and handsome Prince Florizel.

Producer and Theatre Manager Andy Edmeads said “Following the success of Peter Pan, we are hugely excited to bring this magical and enchanting pantomime to life this Christmas. Expect energetic choreography, singalong songs, laugh out loud jokes and a plenty of audience interaction!”

Sleeping Beauty runs from 10-31 December 2018 and tickets can be purchased in person, online at www.camberleytheatre.co.uk or by calling the Box Office on 01276 707600.
