A group of actors solicits help from the young audience to perform this well-known fairy tale with its rich characters including a wise frog, a garrulous bush, the lively Briar Rose and her well-meaning but testy father. Briar Rose is blessed by the fairies of earth, wind and water, but the fairy of fire curses her with a slumber that lasts for a century.
