About the Show:
An
ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince
Charming with a roving eye? A Witch...who raps? They're all among the
cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured
fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they'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). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act
One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later,
with disastrous results. What begins 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.
