Sleeping Beauty In The Wood

Little Angel Theatre
‘Lucky people so ‘tis said are blessed with fortune whilst in bed’
A long time ago, one disgruntled fairy cast a spell that sent the whole world into a spin…

This adaptation of the story of Briar Rose by the Brothers Grimm, conjures a dreamlike fantasy of palaces and forests, ogres and fairies, princes and babes. It tells the story of a King and Queen desperate for a child, and a fairy who grants their wish. But when the fairy is not invited to their new baby Rose’s christening she casts a different kind of spell – that on her 16th birthday, the young princess will prick her finger and everyone in the kingdom will fall asleep for 100 years. Only the arrival of a prince from the Far East brings hope of an awakening.

This bold production works with puppets, projections, automata and live music to weave an irresistible magic
