Aladdin gets a makeover

Aladdin gets a family-friendly revamp at The Junction this month – expect song, theatre and stage fighting at a production of Aladdin.

Set in a Persian city, a charming young man called Aladdin attempts to help his ill mother while the city around him is in revolt. Far from the unrest, a sultan is obsessed by the discovery of a lamp while his daughter Princess Yasmine dreams of more freedom. There’s an option of two shows, both are performed in French.
