About
Have you ever had one of those dreams…?
You know the ones… the one where you’re running but you can’t get anywhere? Or the one where you really need the loo but people keep getting in your way?
What about the dream where you’re a child and you get cursed by a wicked fairy to prick your finger on your eleventh Christmas Eve and fall asleep for a hundred years?
Not had that one? Molly has. She’s been having it a lot recently. Her eleventh Christmas Eve is just around the corner.
“One more sleep,” her mum keeps saying…
…but if Molly’s not careful, she could end up having have the craziest sleep of her life!
The team who brought you UK Theatre award-winning Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin invite you to join Molly on a night-time adventure filled with songs, laughs and festive nonsense*.
Sleeping Beauty promises to be a Christmas treat for dreamers of all ages.
*Cocoa, pyjamas and teddy bears optional.
