Visually told through dance and orchestra (with no English subtitles) this is a strange twist on The Sleeping Beauty. Strange referring to the simple stage props and Mats Ek choreography, which some may find bizarre, especially being set to classical Tchaikovsky music. At the same time, many should be thrilled with the different approach to the classic tale performed by the Cullberg Ballet/Swedish National Touring Theatre. (Suzanne Hodges)
