This clever and charming adaptation of the classic fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty is a wild, comic romp.  Despite warnings from her hysterical, hyper mother, Briar Rose touches the thorns of some roses given to her by that devious thirteenth fairy.  Consequently, she and the rest of the royal family fall asleep for 100 years under the evil fairy’s curse.  A hilarious parade of doomed princes fail again and again in the hissing, growling briar bushes (created by children from the audience) that protect the palace where the royal family sleeps.  All these royal efforts are futile until a prince shows up with his side-splittingly funny bodyguard, the two-headed troll (played by two actors standing back-to-back).  It’s ’back-to-back’ nonsense as the two heads drive the prince mad by finishing each other’s (and his) sentences, encouraging him to kiss Briar Rose.  Did we forget to mention this prince has a serious kissing phobia?!  You’ll love the clever dialogue, comical characters, lively stage action, great participation, and surprise twist.
