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 uses puppetry, imaginative video projections, automata and live music to weave an irresistibly magical storytelling experience.
