A wicked witch curses a baby princess to vanish on her 16th birthday. Will the King and Queen, along with some trusted fairies, be able to keep the princess safe? Sleeping Beauty is a wonderful story for exploring good vs evil with children. Even in the face of adversity, the kindness and love shown by the characters prevail over evil and deliver a happy ending. Our retelling of Sleeping Beauty focuses on themes of Love, sacrifice and magic. Over the centuries the story of Sleeping Beauty has evolved and adapted hugely. The earliest version of Sleeping Beauty dates back to the 14th century and featured a princess Talia. Perrut’s version in the late 17th century introduced many of the famous elements such as the wicked fairy, the hundred year sleep and the Prince waking Sleeping Beauty which has become a staple in popular versions we know and love today.
