Lucy Kirkwood's delightful version of the classic fairytale, first seen in a production devised and directed by Katie Mitchell at the National Theatre for Christmas 2010. 'I expect you have been told fairytales before. But you have never really heard a fairytale until you have heard it told by a real fairy.' The theft of a single rose has monstrous consequences for Beauty and her father. Because this is no ordinary rose...and this is no ordinary fairytale. Narrated by a pair of mischievous fairies, a very helpful Rabbit, and a Thoughtsnatcher machine, this timeless story is sure to surprise, delight and enchant. A wild and twisted tale, full of exciting and intriguing challenges for drama groups wishing to stage their own production. 'Chock-full of clever ideas' - Whatsonstage.com 'Clever, fast and endearing, with grand insults and proper jeopardy.' - The Times 'the story is beautifully and touchingly told... a continuously inventive delight' - Telegraph 'This new devised version is blessed with a sassy script by Lucy Kirkwood... Beauty-fully done' - Evening Standard
