The Epstein Theatre has announced its new season with opera, comedy and an obligatory Christmas panto among the highlights.

TV personality Calum Best will star as Prince Charming in LHK Productions’ Cinderella in December while Heritage Opera, the North West’s touring opera company will visit the Epstein Theatre for the first time with Puccini’s Madame Butterfly.

Renowned scientist Richard Dawkins also feature’s in the new season with My Life in Science next month.

General manager Rebekah Pichilingi said: “Having launched our new Autumn/Winter brochure, the team and I are thrilled to offer yet another busy line-up during the period leading up to the festive season. From educational and entertaining children’s events that provide fun for all of the family, to tongue-in-cheek comedy shows, we have put an emphasis on showcasing quality shows that offer something for everyone, in order to appeal to our extremely varied audience.

“The highlight of the Autumn/Winter season at the theatre will certainly be our Christmas pantomime, which will run throughout December. Pantomime is a tradition that we hold onto year on year, and our 2015 show is set to be bigger and better than ever. As part of our longstanding affiliation with LHK Productions, we are collaborating for the third year running to present Cinderella. In order to offer a refreshing take on the classic fairy tale, the story has been adapted to ensure that there won’t be a dry eye in sight!”
