SLEEPING BEAUTY

Directed by: Suzi Allan 

Assisted by: Gina Paul

Genre: Pantomine

Synopsis: 

 

Sleeping Beauty tells the classic tale of Princess Briar Rose, who is put under a terrible enchantment by the evil Fairy Blackthorn because she wasn't invited to the princesses christening. She tells the King and Queen that on reaching adulthood, the princess will prick her finger on a spindle and die. Although unable to reverse the spell, good fairy Goldenweb alters its effect so that instead of dying, the princess will fall fast asleep for a hundred years, until awakened by the kiss of her true love.
