Nothing is sleepy about this fairy story - in the hands of masterful choreographer, Sir Matthew Bourne, we have a ballet full of menace and melodrama.
In the story book version there’s a hint of unease at this tale of the slumbering Sleeping Beauty who, after a pinprick, falls into the nap of all naps. In Bourne’s dark re-telling, we meet gothic fairies, a vampiric good fairy and a Mr Nasty dark fairy. Baby grows up to be the beautiful princess Aurora, played with spiky personality by Katrina Lyndon, who falls in love with Leo the royal gamekeeper, a confident Stephen Murray. Bringing menace and his own dastardly desire to their union is the unsettling, charismatic and oft-scene-stealing Caradoc - it is the rose he gives Aurora that condemns her to that 100-year sleep. Throughout we have thrilling set piece ensemble dances to Tchaikovsky’s famed score, full of wit and whimsy.
The ballet negotiates the passing 100 years with a post-interval scene set in 2011 with tourists taking photos at the gates that guard the sleeping princess. From here we prepare for her awakening and find a twist on the tale of the prince who kisses and wakes her. It’s not a done deal in Bourne world.
