This play follows familiar characters in the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, but instead holds the characters accountable for their own situations. Things do not just happen to Sleeping Beauty and the other characters but are precipitated by her, her parents, the king and queen, and by the prince. The king and queen are informal and fun-loving parents, and the pricked finger is the result of a deliberate and dramatic act. The basic conflict between good and evil is modern in its implications, as is the rescue of Beauty from her long sleep. This adaptation by Marion Jonson is a happy bridge between contemporary life and the folk wisdom of fairy tales.
