14-17 October 2004, Old Queen's Theatre, 120 Hereford St
Dear handsome princes, citizens of Christchurch, and all children between the ages of 8 and 80: you are invited to the Birthday Party of Briar Rose at Old Queens Theatre. See the Free Theatre present a children's production based on the Grimms' Sleeping Beauty. Help Briar Rose celebrate her birthday and share the entertainment and food at her party. In the banquet hall, guests will partake of food with the royal family prepared by gallant chef Richard Till, pass the parcel with the wise women and try to wake Sleeping Beauty from her slumber without getting lost inside the castle.

ReviewsWith limited places available at the banquet table this refreshing experience will be missed by many. But be warned. It is not a production for the fainthearted. The envelope has been pushed so far by Peter Falkenberg, it's practically a circular.... The production bears Falkenberg's trademark deathly slow pacing and repetition... |
