Harlequin Youth Theatre presents Sleeping Beauty, by Alan McHugh.

This isn’t your ordinary Sleeping Beauty…

Transported to the mysterious Scottish Islands, this wickedly funny panto is packed with spooky surprises, magical mayhem and laugh-out-loud chaos perfect for Halloween!

Furious at being denied her rightful place as Queen, Bonjela unleashes a terrifying curse: before her 18th birthday, Princess Eilidh will prick her finger on a needle and die! Can the fairies keep her safe? Or will Bonjela’s chilling spell finally succeed?
