Hex

A fairy living alone in the forest is enlisted by a harried palace secretary to cast a spell on a newborn princess who has been keeping the entire court awake. But magic has unintended consequences, and when the spell goes wrong, the fairy must navigate a world of courtly intrigue and parental chaos to set things right. Tanya Ronder's darkly funny reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, with music by Jim Fortune, explores the messy realities of parenthood and the fairy tales we tell ourselves.
