Ewan and Callam Fellows took over as producers for Sleeping Beauty, after Steve Atkinson and Kathy Wright decided to stand down following last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk. Ewan and Callam wrote the script jointly, and Callam performed in the chorus

We last performed this show 22 years ago in 2001. One reason for the large gap is that Sleeping Beauty herself doesn’t appear for much of the time, which makes it awkward (she’s asleep!). This time, the authors solved this with a cunning plan involving time travel, so the Princess doesn’t need to disappear

Rosie Winton rejoined, having previously played the title role in Beauty and the Beast 6 years earlier. This time, she’s Fairy Malevolence, a very different role!
