Returning after an impressive run last year, the National Theatre's Christmas show is Hex, an adaptation of artistic director Rufus Norris’s acclaimed take on Sleeping Beauty, which first ran at the Young Vic Theatre in 2002. The reworked musical features lyrics by… wait for it… Norris himself (who also directs), a book by his wife Tanya Ronder (Table) and a score by Jim Fortune (Pericles).

Set in the world of Sleeping Beauty, Hex redefines the myth’s fairy figure as misunderstood, rather than evil. When the Fairy is summoned to the palace to help the princess sleep, her blessing somehow becomes a curse, plunging the Fairy into a 100-year quest to put matters right and wake the sleeping beauty.
