An engaging drama for children by the Children's Theatre, Montréal. On a school auditorium stage, an audience watches the portrayal of the beauty and the beast adventure. But the film audience sees more. Behind the scenes, in the shadows and up dark stairways, another drama develops with suspense to equal the fairy tale's. It is a play within a play, convincingly acted out by a talented group of young thespians.
