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
