Classic Fairytales: Retold for the Stage
by Charles Way
Sleeping Beauty | Cinderella | Beauty and the Beast
Three sparkling adaptations of classic fairytales.
Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast: three timeless tales retold for the stage by one of the UK’s most renowned writers of plays for children, Charles Way.
Winner of the Writers Guild Best Children’s Play Award, Way’s plays appeal to audiences of all ages, are translated into several languages and performed internationally. Each of the three plays explores the journey from childhood to adulthood, but each takes a specific angle. These are plays which know no boundaries, are great fun to produce, and at the same time, are utterly serious.
