about...Sleeping Beauty

Director: Rosamunde Hutt; Writer: Rosy Fordham;
Cast: Samantha Adams, John Cockerill, Julie Hewlett, Irma Innis, Amit Sharma, David Smith, Gehane Strehler
Musician: Joe Hood

In the Unicorn Ensemble's second production, the regular ensemble was joined by Irma Innis and Joe Hood for the world premiere of Rosy Fordham's "Sleeping Beauty".

Re-uniting much of the team behind Rosamunde Hutt's critically acclaimed Journey to the River Sea, this new production delivered all the classic hallmarks of a Unicorn Christmas show. It may be a panto-free zone, but the stage burst with mischief, merriment and magic, and even a few blokes in frocks in this witty and vibrant re-working of the classic fairy tale.

Sleeping Beauty sold-out across its full run, with extra performances added to cope with unprecedented demand.

Sleeping Beauty ran from 10th December 2008 until 24th January 2009 at the Unicorn Theatre
