Photo Flash: First Look at SLEEPING BEAUTY at Theatre Royal Stratford East

Sleeping Beauty has been in a deep sleep for a hundred years... but wakes to find herself in a strange city with a cruel fairy hot on her heels...

Expect our much-loved mix of original songs, cracking jokes and a (huge) sprinkling of magic in London's must-see pantomime.
