These are my costume designs for a production of Sleeping Beauty, inspired by the oldness of fairytales. The beautiful backgrounds are by Sophie Jamieson.
Scene 1: a prince meets an old peasant woman who tells him the story of the Sleeping Beauty.
Scene 2: The King and Queen hold a great ceremony to celebrate the birth of their daughter, Briar Rose. All the fairies give the baby one gift, including the wicked fairy Carabosse.
Scene 3: The King and Queen watch as all the spinning wheels in their kingdom are burned.
Scene 4: 16 years later, Briar Rose finds an old woman spinning in one of the high turrets of the castle. She pricks her finger and the enchantment takes hold.
Scene 5: The King and Queen, who had gone to buy Briar Rose a wonderful gift, return to find the entire castle fast asleep. Luckily, the youngest fairy arrives, putting them to sleep too.
Scene 6: A hundred years later, our Prince finds his way to the castle to wake Briar Rose and the castle celebrates the Royal Wedding.
