What's On

A Brutally Honest Fairy Tale
 

A loving feminist satire of some of the more ridiculous elements of beloved fairy tales.

With Cinderella dead, Prince Charming is forced to marry a stepsister whose foot just will not fit the glass slipper. Surrounded by female characters who are growing increasingly annoyed at dying at the end of their stories, Charming is on a journey to learn that there might be more to moral character than shoe size.

Based on the fairy tales of Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, this comedy is written by award-winning literature graduate and actor Cristina Wells. Full of live music, physical comedy, and a radical reconsideration of gender roles it is a Brutally Honest Fairy Tale.
