'The story of Sleeping Beauty where upon Aurora sleeps for one hundred years and awakens in the modern world.  Choreographer Matthew Bourne\'s haunting scenario is a gothic tale for all ages.  The traditional story of good vs evil and rebirth is turned upside down, creating a supernatural love story across decades that even the passage of time itself cannot hinder.  Perrault\'s timeless fairy tale about a young girl cursed to sleep for one century has been turned into a supernatural tale of vampires, fairies and decadent gothic opulence. Yet in the end, young love finally triumphs over all as Aurora is rescued by her one true prince.  Bourne’s imagination thrives where others fail, and his reinventions – a puppet Aurora, battling suitors, and homages to Petipa – transform fairytale into spellbinding drama and ballet.
