Sleeping Beauty - Kings Theatre, Glasgow

Oh yes we did .............

Despite the atrocious gales we had this morning  - worst I've ever seen - my son Fraser and I fulfilled our  
ticket purchases and went along to see 'Sleeping Beauty' at the King's Theatre in Glasgow.

A great pantomime and all credit to the cast for keeping us fully entertained with a very enjoyable two and a half hours entertainment.

No photography permitted during the actual performance so here's a few of the Theatre interior.
