The Classic Fairytales cover

Sleeping Beauty | Cinderella | Beauty and the Beast Three sparkling adaptations of classic fairytales. Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast: three timeless tales retold for the stage by one of the UK's most renowned writers of plays for children, Charles Way. Winner of the Writers Guild Best Children's Play Award, Way's plays appeal to audiences of all ages, are translated into several languages and performed internationally. Each of the three plays explores the journey from childhood to adulthood, but each takes a specific angle. These are plays which know no boundaries, are great fun to produce, and at the same time, are utterly serious.

The Plays Sleeping Beauty “Hovering deliciously between the scary and fairytale, this is a show with fire in its belly and bewitching theatre for anyone over six.” Time Out Cinderella “This adaptation of the world's best-loved fairytale is not to be missed. A Christmas treat for all the family, whether one is 5 or 95.” Morning Star Beauty and the Beast “All the ingredients of the classic fairytale with the added dimension of rounded characters who are flawed human beings.” Manchester Evening News
