THE COURT THEATRE: MEDIA RELEASE
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is “just right” for kids

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS are coming to The Court Theatre to entertain families these summer holidays.

Adapted by popular playwright Carl Nixon and directed by Tim Bartlett, the play takes the popular story of a young girl who stumbles into the Bear family home and adds an uppity queen, a love-struck prince and plenty of slapstick humour to create a fun-filled farce for all ages.

The cast are members of The Court Theatre’s improvisation troupe The Court Jesters, which means “they already excel at getting the audience involved and having fun” according to Bartlett. Emma Cusdin plays Goldilocks while Dan Bain, Kirsty Gillespie and Ralph McCubbin-Howell play the three bears as well as several other characters.

Bartlett has set this version of the fairytale in New Zealand, with the three bears’ house becoming a seaside caravan and the set incorporating plenty of Kiwiana. Bartlett is certain the show “will be fun for all ages”.

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS opens on January 17th at The Court Theatre. All tickets are $9, book at The Court Theatre Box Office: 963 0870 or online at www.courttheatre.org.nz
