Mark Billen's Seeking Sleeping Beauty does some very neat comedy by subverting Sleeping Beauty and various other fairytales. It even starts 100 years after most adaptations - when the population of the enchanted palace is already sound asleep.
Stuart Ardern - Lazybee Scripts
Settings A forest scene with features added as required. (A castle door, a shoe house, a tower, a gingerbread house and Sleeping Beauty's bower.)
