She's behind you!

Speaking of pantomimes, have you seen that the Bristol Old Vic is putting on "Sleeping Beauty" this Christmas - but with a twist.  The main character is not to be a princess, but a prince - Prince Percy. It will be he who pricks his finger and falls into a deep sleep, to be awakened by a girl heroine.  Well I suppose in the interests of opposing gender stereotyping I could just about accept that, but Prince Percy???
