The magical sleep is spreading from a castle deep in the forest. As a girl she survived her own long, magical sleep, so she throws on her armour, straps on her sword and rides into the heart of this new plague to try to find its source and save her people.

They were coming for the celebration, but they also bring news of a sleeping sickness sweeping the land. Three dwarves, guardians from her childhood, race towards her. In her mountain kingdom, a soldier-Queen prepares for her wedding day. The Sleeper and the Spindle is a new tale drawing on traditional folk stories, interweaving Snow White and Sleeping Beauty in an enchanting drama that puts the women firmly centre stage.

Starring Penelope Wilton, Gwendoline Christie and Ralph Ineson as well as Neil Gaiman himself. Neil Gaiman’s perfect Christmas-time fairy tale, brought to life by award-winning dramatist Katie Hims.
