Winter 2024: SLEEPING BEAUTY

Helsby Players’ is proud to announce that we are in rehearsals for Sleeping Beauty, adapted by Rufus Norris.

We are so excited to bring you this magical tale filled with misunderstood fairies, beautiful princesses and… man-eating ogres?!

Rufus Norris’ take on this 700-year-old folktale takes the Sleeping Beauty story (specifically the versions popularised by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm) and adapts it for modern audiences. With proud princes, ominous ogres and a flatulent fairy, this play blends classic fairytale fantasy with heroic humour and magical misunderstandings (and just a dash of childhood nostalgia) to bring you a delightfully fun tale the whole family will love.

Helsby Players will be performing in St. Paul’s Church, Helsby from Wednesday 11th to Saturday 14th December 2024. Times and ticket information coming soon.

So make a mark in your diaries, set up your alerts and make sure to watch this space, or follow us on Facebook, to keep up to date with the latest Helsby Players news.

We hope to see you in December,

Helsby Players

(P.S: This play is not a panto. 😉)
