  1. Flora – The Good Fairy of the South (Female)  – A Corkconian and like any she is loud and proud of the city from which she hails. These three Fairies are very different characters but are all big in your face funny characters and must work well as a comedy team. (Singer)

 

  1. Vivian – The Evil Fairy’s henchman (Male) – He works as part of a baddie comedy double act with his brother he is the leader as he is slightly more intelligent than his brother. They speak with broken English or a foreign accent, they are spies. Very childish and stupid.

  1. Bradley – The Big Bad Wolf (Male) – Yes the famous big bad wolf from fairy book fame, shows up and it turns out he is not so bad.  In fact he is completely misunderstood and is in fact a big softie, who turns out to be a great friend to our heroes.  A comedy accent here something soft and funny, he is a complete coward.
  1. King Stefan (Male) – Aurora’s father only in first and last scenes. He is modelled completely on Basil Fawlty, Funny over the top English, arguing with his wife and getting into a fuss.

 

  1. Queen Clara (Female) – Aurora’s mother only in first and last scenes. She is modelled on Sybil Fawlty maybe a bit nicer, funny female part to bounce off her bundling husband is lovely to everyone accept the King.
