About Sleeping Beauty
Now established as a firm favourite in the New Adventures repertoire, the award-winning Sleeping Beauty has enchanted international audiences throughout the UK and across the globe.
Enter a wondrous world of magical fairies and vampires, where the timeless tale of good vs evil is turned upside-down, creating a supernatural love story that even the passage of time itself cannot hinder. Will Princess Aurora ever find her true love again?
With an unforgettable score, sumptuous sets and costumes, evocative lighting and masterly storytelling, the beloved fairy tale is brought to life by the uniquely talented New Adventures company. Get ready to be transported in time from the halcyon days of the late Edwardian era through to the modern day in this dazzling gothic romance.
Please note that the age rating for Sleeping Beauty is 5+ (some scenes may not be suitable for young children), and the running time is 2 hours including a 20-minute interval.

About Sensory Adapted Performances
A Sensory Adapted Performance is an extension of a Relaxed Performance. A welcome, less formal but supportive environment is created, and the show is modified by:
· Reducing sound levels and special effects
· Making other technical adaptations to soften contrasts within the show
· Create empty seated spaces to allow free and easy movement within the auditorium.
· Support noise and movement within the auditorium during a show
· Allow re-entry when needed so house lights are left on throughout
· Offer a separate chill-out space for anyone who might need it at any time during their visit
· Provide a Visual Story so people can familiarise themselves with the theatre and key details about the show in advance
· Ear defenders are available on request at Ticket Office
· Extra staff are on hand to support you with any queries
Sensory Adapted Performances are suitable for those who may be on the autism spectrum, have sensory sensitivities, epilepsy, learning disabilities and/or difficulties, experience neurodiversity, and anyone that might benefit from a more supportive environment.
