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.
One of Sondheim's most popular works, this timeless yet
relevant piece is a rare modern classic. --
