Event Details
We all know the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty, but this year, get ready for a twist in the tale! In this spellbinding new production brought to you by Oxford Playhouse, Aurora’s adventure takes an unexpected turn as she time travels across 1000 years.
Our beloved princess must use all her fairy-given gifts—true friendship, intelligence, bravery, and a good night’s sleep (along with a teddy bear and a mysterious 1985 Smash Hits Yearbook)—to set things right and reclaim her place in the kingdom of Oxland.
Join us for a magical and festive experience that’s perfect for all the family. From Friday 22nd November 2024 to Sunday 5th January 2025, immerse yourself in a toe-tapping extravaganza with a generous sprinkling of 80s nostalgia.
