Play script dramatized by Charlotte B. Chorpenning. One of the classics of the children's theatre, dramatizing the most charming of fairy tales. Cast of 8 women, 4 men. Two sets. Fairy-tale costumes.

This is a play made of beautiful imagery, telling the age-old story of the lovely Princess who was given every conceivable human gift on her christening day, but who was cursed on that day by a wicked fairy who had not been invited to the christening, who prophesied that on her sixteenth birthday the Princess should prick her finger on a spindle, and fall into a deep sleep, from which she could only be awakened, a hundred years later, by a Prince who was brave enough to fight his way through t he wilderness that had grown up around the castle. The scene in the Tower room, where she picks her finger, is one of the most poignant in dramatic literature.
