In the year 2012, a group of passionate and creative individuals formed what was to become the illustrious "Les Troubadours Britanniques de Limoux" theatre group. These enthusiastic folk came together from the surrounding towns and villages of Limoux to weave magic on the stage, year after year, bringing classic tales to life with their wonderful pantomimes.
2013: Mother Goose In 2013, the Troubadours embarked on a journey with "Mother Goose." It was a first in many ways : a first for the group; a first for many of those who took part, a first for the venue (who were in truth a bit shocked having never seen a British style pantomime before) and the first opportunity for the good people of Aude to experience this traditional way of heralding the start of Christmas festivities for themselves and their families. 2015: Aladdin Two years later, in
2015, the troupe whisked the audience away to the Arabian Desert. Aladdin with the aid of his pet monkey and a magic lamp overcame adversity to win the hand of the princess, it was a magic mix of costumes, heroic and hilarious characters a-plenty that ensured a great evening’s entertainment for the whole family. 2017: Treasure Island In
2017, the Troubadours set sail on the high seas with "Treasure Island." The stage transformed into a ship and an island, and this rendition of the wellknown tale kept the audience on the edge of their seats. Swashbuckling sword fights, the traditional hornpipe dance and the heroism and skull-duggery ensured the audiences left everyone cheering for more. 2018: Robin Hood In the year
2018, Sherwood Forest was the destination. This was the first year that the group introduced supertitles to ensure that the whole spectacle could be enjoyed by our ever expanding French audience. A flying squirrel, hilarious soldiers, an evil Sheriff, the return of the King on horse-back and not forgetting the Dame being mistaken as Maid Marian left the audience in stiches. 2019: King Arthur In
2019, the stage was graced with the grandeur of Camelot in "King Arthur." The costumes, set and hilarious mix of characters were all magnificent, fit for knights and royalty and of course, our audience. The set design transported everyone to the mythical realm of Arthurian legends, and legendry tale was retold at a cracking pace, the culmination with the entrance of the Dragon was unforgettable.
2021: Beauty and the Beast In 2021, This highly original production had Victorian England as its setting along with a fully operating circus (sort of). The splendid costumes, music, lighting and sound along with the splendiferous acting and singing from our ever enthusiastic cast ensured that our audience were highly entertained and left looking forward to the next one! 2023: Puss in Boots Now, in
