The Sleeping Beauties
When the kingdom is under threat from the dark forces of the king's new advisor Clove it seems the last hope lies in the friendship between two girls; Dawn and Eve. Will they survive Clove's evil plans, their different social status and the arrival on the scene of Prince - the most handsome guy Dawn has ever met.
A sleep of a thousand years, a magical forest world and what to do when a guy comes between you and your best friend; this version of the tale is a thrilling adventure that asks why happy endings always have to be 'boy meets girl'.

"The Sleeping Beauties is a heartfelt, funny, consistently entertaining, and highly imaginative remix of the traditional story." British Theatre Guide
"This production was a galaxy away from the traditional panto – and more like a modern day twist on the Brothers Grimm, directed by Tim Burton[...] As dark, intoxicating and weirdly festive as a Christmas glass of Tia Maria, The Sleeping Beauties is aptly bewitching, spellbinding, enchanting. A beautiful, unsettling take on a familiar classic." ★★★★★ The Western Mail
'#TheSleepingBeauties @ShermanCymru is hilarious - a magical, quirky production. And the Brownies all loved it too from what we could hear!'
