Sleeping Beauty audition opportunity

RARE Productions is giving young people in Winchester an exciting opportunity to take part in a professionally-led musical production of Sleeping Beauty.

Experience the timeless tale of Sleeping Beauty, where a beautiful princess is cursed by an evil fairy to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into a deep sleep. But with the intervention of a good fairy, the curse is altered so that she sleeps for 100 years, awaiting true love's kiss to awaken her. A handsome prince embarks on a journey to break the spell and save the kingdom. Will true love prevail and bring an end to the enchantment?
