Cre8 Theatre's modern musical adaption of the classic fairy tale places deaf and hearing artists together in central roles. On the eve of her birthday young Rose pricks her finger, propelling her into a sleepy state where she is mystically enticed from slumber into fairy tale land by an all-powerful yet peaceful sleep song. Whilst there, Rose meets new friends who aren't all what they appear to be. With the help of fantastical flying orbs, a giant shape shifting Witch, and a neurotic Knight, Rose meanders and adventures her way through the mystical magical land. Returning home to Dad with a big message.
