Synopsis

The fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty set in the swinging mod London of the 1960s.

Sebastian Lore, a flamboyant megalomaniacal fashion designer, "discovers" a young, mod temp receptionist, Enid Wetwhistle, and tries to turn her into a high fashion model.

She rebels and finds refuge with a wacky young fairy godmother of a struggling fashion designer, Fauna Alexander, and her photographer boyfriend, Ian.

The three become huge stars in the new mod era, with Enid now transformed as "Rose," and proclaimed as "the face of the sixties."

Sebastian Lore plots his revenge on the trio and slips some bad LSD into Rose's drink.

She lapses into a twenty-year coma.

In the eighties, a handsome nutritionist named Craig Prince revives her and they all live happily ever after.

Published along with Vampire Lesbians of Sodom .

Press Reviews

"Nothing escapes the demolition by laughter […] The audience laughs at the first line and goes right on laughing at every line to the end, and even at some of the silences. That’s no mean achievement."
— The New York Times

"Costumes flashier than pinball machines, outrageous lines, awful puns, sinister innocence, harmless depravity - it's all here. One can imagine a cult forming."
— The New York Times

"Bizarre and wonderful [...] If you think Boy George is a gender-bender, well, like Jolson said, you ain't seen nothing yet! Forget your genders, come on, get happy."
— Broadway Magazine
