(Playscripts, Inc., March 15, 2008)
In this twist on the beloved fairy tale, a traditional storyteller reading from his all too well-known book of Sleeping Beauty is quickly usurped by the story's feisty villain, the evil Griselda. With a magical spell, she literally turns back the hands of time to show what really happened to "Sleeping Betty." Fortunately, two good fairies and a magical frog help set the story straight, and make sure everyone lives happily ever after. Genre: Comedy for young audiences Length: Short play, 50-60 minutes Cast: 5 females, 4 males (4-9 actors possible: 3-5 females, 1-4 males) Set: A castle with a meadow and pond
