PuppetART’s production of Sleeping Beauty is a puppet ballet. The story is told through the movement of the puppets and the wonderful classical music that accompanies the show. Children should definitely be reread the story of Sleeping Beauty. A good edition is that illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman.
Sleeping Beauty is a very old tale and it has been told many times in many ways. PuppetART’s version includes some new and interesting details. We all know that Sleeping Beauty has been cursed by a wicked fairy and is forced to sleep until she is awakened by a kiss from a Prince. Most versions focus upon the Princess’s story but this production sheds light on the story of the Prince as well. We find out how he knows of the sleeping Princess and why he feels destined to rescue her. You can relax and enjoy the show because this story, as all fairy tales, promises a very happy ending.
