Day 95: Brenda and Victor’s blog - Inverness
Eight shows left! Today is the last day in Inverness - what a beautiful city. We always look forward to this venue. It’s such a peaceful place.
Here is Laura Kinross as one of Carabosse’s mutant daughters, giving us a cheeky smile just before she turns evil.

Day 92: Fairies in folklore
In The Sleeping Beauty, the fairies of the forest bring gifts to Aurora. However,
fairies have different legends in different countries. In many old Scottish tales, the fairies are responsible for very dark deeds like snatching babies, changing the form of adults and children, and setting curses on those that displease them, so people often left cakes, butter and cream to please the fairies.

Day 91: The Hothouse
Above are the set models for the Hothouse in which Aurora sleeps. When she falls asleep, the flowers are in bloom: 100 years later, the plants have overgrown, and if you look closely, you can see the skeletons of men who have tried to rescue her.
