Aladdin (Theatre)

Location:Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage

Aladdin, a street urchin, is sent by a sorcerer to get a magic lamp from a cave, which he later finds out, is protected by a curse. He is so angry that he keeps the lamp unaware there is a genie inside who gives him three wishes. However, Aladdin selfishly uses the wishes to become rich and marry a princess.

The Gordon Craig is very excited this year to be welcoming John Altman, who is best known as BBC1’s soap baddy ‘Nasty Nick’ in Eastenders. He will lead an all-star cast playing the wicked role of ‘Abanazar’.
