Robert Alan Evans\u2019 adaptation breaks from fairy tale tradition with two sleeping beauties<\/em><\/address>\n

A new adaptation of Sleeping Beauty will be this year’s Christmas production at the Sherman Theatre.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The play runs from the sixth of December to the fourth of January, with 14 performances scheduled to take place.<\/p>\n

While based on a traditional story, director Robert Alan Evans has brought a modern twist to the fairy tale. His adaptation centers around two best friends, who fall asleep for a thousand years, waking up in a dramatically different world.<\/p>\n

Friendship is the central theme of Evans\u2019 re-imagining, with the director explaining, \u201cWhat was interesting about writing The Sleeping Beauties was getting to write about two best friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evans\u2019s reinvention of a classic tale is set to entertain young and old alike, providing an interesting alternative to traditional Christmas pantomime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
