Find the best Beauty and the Beast dance or ballet tickets at The Stoke Repertory Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent. Once upon a time, in a country a long way from here...An impoverished merchant travelling wearily home stumbles on a deserted castle and takes refuge from the storm. He rests and is tended by invisible forces, but when he repays this kindness by stealing a single rose, a fearsome Beast appears and exacts a terrifying forfeit.
