Abstract

This paper aims to make a contribution to the study of the YA and Children’s play Dormente by Raquel Castro, published in 2021. By reading through her work, it becomes clear the author attempts to “depatriarchalise” the tale of Sleeping Beauty. To achieve this, Castro provides the reader with new content using innovative techniques that differ from the classic tale, thus updating the prevailing narrative. In this review, we will focus on these changes by examining certain key points: feminist features, humour and comedy, and style.
