Heckington Players will also be taking to the stage with Sleeping Beauty: The Pantomime of Dreams, written by local playwright Kei Bailey.

When Princess Adora is born in the Kingdom of 
Dyspepsia, she looks set to have an idyllic life.

However, at her naming ceremony, Dark Ada places a terrible spell on the innocent child.

The witch curses Adora with the prospect of death after pricking her finger when she turns 21.

Luckily, Fairy Bliss is at hand to counteract the curse with a spell of her own, promising Adora will not die but fall asleep instead, until the day she is kissed by a handsome prince.

Many years later, with Adora’s 21st birthday approaching, the Royal household prepare to protect their beloved princess.

But with everyone busy organising the party, nobody notices Pimpleworm the goblin luring Adora to her fate.

Adora is tricked into using a spinning wheel and pricks her finger, immediately sealing her fate, dooming herself and everyone in the palace to 100 years of sleep. Fortunately, Prince Vincent is at hand to save the day.
