This year’s Ursuline production Beauty and The Beast has been an outstanding success. The full audiences each night were treated to a feast of song, dance and Disney magic.

The detestably narcissistic Gaston was played with great humour by Jennifer Murphy.

The chorus including feather dusters, spoons, plates and flying cutlery added to the high octane performances that infused the entire show. It was spectacular from the opening curtain to the final encore so well done to everyone involved.
