The Milborne Players once again present their traditional annual pantomime, this year Sleeping Beauty. Fairies Lilac, Lavender and Lupin (who seems to get called Loopy alot!), are definitely good, but of mixed ability, while Fairy Deadly Nightshade and her henchman, Snivel, are emphatically evil. Their efforts to aid or ensnare Princess Rose, who becomes our Sleeping Beauty, are the usual conflict between good and evil as you would expect. Additional diversions are created by the King Basil and Queen Camellia, Dame Winnie Slaptickle and Happy Harry the Jester all trying to protect the Princess. Prince William (Bill), who is described as quite adorable and loved at first sight by the Princess Rose, has, in traditional fashion, a series of very uncomfortable adventures before planting the kiss to awaken his true love.
