Synopsis
In 1911 (a bit before Downton Abbey) a wicked fairy gets in a pissy fit when she's not invited to a party. Using her best Top Trumps card, she casts a revenge spell that sends the birthday boy into a deep sleep... 100 years later, a prince wakes him with a kiss. But who wants to settle down with a soppy prince? It's 2011 and there are boys everywhere!

Chock full of innuendo and overflowing with sauce, this camped-up version of Sleeping Beauty is not for the squeamish. It follows Beauty (Matthew Ferzdeni), a gorgeous-but-dim, hard-on prone prince in the closet, from inception through to birth (the first of several topless moments that thrilled Above the Stag's audience) when he is cursed by nasty EastEnders villain-esque fairy Carabosse (Samantha Ridings).
Luckily - or unluckily? - Scottish booze hound Fairy Glowstick (Mandy Dassa) is on hand to protect the prince from getting "pricked" (yes, this choice verb peppers the script like over seasoned scrambled eggs). But as we all know from the fairytale, that doesn't quite go to plan...
