BEYOND BEAUTY
A play by the Emmy Award-winning, Ron Hutchinson

In a dusty, forgotten corner of a London industrial estate, surrounded by churches, warehouses and small businesses, there is a castle: cobwebbed, ivy-strewn and destined to remain asleep until a certain princess is awoken by 'that' kiss.

We all know it as the end of the Sleeping Beauty legend but Beyond Beauty tells the story of what happens after the kiss. One hundred years after pricking her finger on a spinning wheel, Beauty wakes up to find herself in a world quite different from the one she remembers.

Forget everything you know about Sleeping Beauty and come down to Peckham's brand new warehouse venue The Last Refuge for an evening that will reveal what really happens when you wake up after sleeping for hundreds of years. An anarchic, immersive Christmas show, Emmy Award-winning writer Ron Hutchinson's Beyond Beauty drags Charles Perrault's timeless fairytale kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.

A show for all ages.
