An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Riding Hood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch Â… who raps?
TheyÂ’re all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen SondheimÂ’s fractured fairy tale.
When a Baker and his Wife learn theyÂ’ve been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk).
EveryoneÂ’s wish is granted at the end of Act I, but consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results.
What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of “The Princess Bride”, becomes a moving lesson about community, responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
This timeless yet relevant piece is a rare modern classic – one well worth experiencing.
