Sleeping Beauty

Directed by Beth Brooks

Once upon a time there was a beautiful Princess who was loved by everyone. Well… almost everyone. Cursed by a wicked fairy, she pricks her finger and falls into a deep sleep. One hundred years later, a Prince wakes her with a kiss. But the Prince isn’t as brave as he should be – and his mother’s a bit of an ogress…

Based on Perrault’s 17th-century classic, Rufus Norris’s Sleeping Beauty goes beyond the kiss into a perilous world of beastly shadows, nasty smells and a forest full of enchanted trouble. This twist on the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty’s curse is portrayed through the eyes of the fairy who curses her.
