Thorns

Sleeping Beauty is not awakened by true love's first kiss, as some of you may already know... In a world of magic and darkness we discover who truly woke Talia and who tried to protect her by covering the kingdom in Thorns. But Thorns aren't enough to fend off a lustful King and his vengeful Queen. Discover the true tale in this reimagining of the original from the voices of Sleeping Beauty herself, her daughter and the queen who sought her destruction.

This theatre piece explores themes of consent and has references/descriptions of sexual abuse. There are references to violence and cannibalism. Signposts to relevant charities who can provide support around these themes will be made readily available to audiences without having to ask.
