Heading ‘Into the Woods’ for musical performance

FOUR performers from Rotherham are preparing to head Into the Woods in a new production of Stephen Sondheim’s musical.

The play comes Sheffield’s Lyceum Theatre from March 1 to 5 and will feature

Steve Pashley from Wickersley playing The Mysterious Man, Rotherham College student Beth Atkin as Little Red Riding Hood, Mason Ratcliffe Jones from Kiveton Park as playing Jack and Fiona Hannon from Aughton in the role of Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother.

Steve and Fiona have been appearing with Croft House Theatre Company for a number of years, while this is Beth’s second production with us and Mason’s first.

Beth and Mason have worked together before with the prestigious National Youth Music Theatre.

Inspired by The Brothers Grimm, Into the Woods brings together fairytale characters including Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, and the Wicked Witch.

The Croft House production follows the success of the recent Disney film featuring Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, James Corden and Emily Blunt.

Tickets are priced from £12 to £23 and available in person at Sheffield Theatres Box Office, by telephone on 0114 249 6000 or online at
