This delightful new version of Sleeping Beauty follows the traditional story to the letter, but is crammed full of sharply original comedy routines, slick banter and hilarious dialogue. One very special addition to this version is Roscoe, a streetwise dog who adds a modern and surreal flavour to many of the scenes. There’s also a very funny “Test Your Strength” routine featuring dame and castle butler, and a slapstick “Changing the Duvet” routine which is set to become a panto classic.
