Synopsis:
Welcome back to our third and wackiest instalment of the Chronicles of Waa. The King and Queen of Puss Puss long for an heir. When the Queen contracts a life threatening fever during pregnancy, they try anything and everything to save mother and child. A noble Baron offers a solution: a medicine so powerful that it can cure any illness; a herb called 'Rapunzel'. But the witch who grows it always has her price - and in exchange for the herb, she demands their baby. Desperate, the King and Queen agree. The Queen recovers and gives birth to a healthy girl. But, as she is so quickly taken away, darkness falls across the land. Eighteen years later the royals have given up any hope of finding their heir. The Baron, now their greatest confidante, is about to be ordained King. But as the neighbouring Prince Corbyn rides through the forest he hears singing from an isolated tower. What happened to the witch and who is the noble Baron really? All is not what it seems. . .

Top of PageSleeping Beauty
There will come a point in every witch's life where the scales are tipped so far to one side that the world, nature, humanity - whatever you want to call it - finally fights back. The demons are expelled and we return to the natural state. Sleeping Beauty is the fairytale of the beautiful princess Arabella who pricks her finger on a spindle and sleeps for a hundred years. Here adapted for the stage, you can join a host of characters for a night of magic, romance and laughter. In this quirky and flamboyant new stage version of the traditional story by Jez Bond and Mark Cameron, the battle of good versus evil is given a facelift, bringing this fairytale vividly to life through comedy, drama and original songs. The songs are included at the back of the edition (melody with chord symbols).
