Written by a woman who is known for her spectacular storytelling skills through ensemble work, (like her well-known Tony-winning Metamorphoses, dealing with Greek mythology) in this highly theatrical piece she tackles the dark underside of a group of lesser-known fairy tales. What happens when a child, left with a babysitter, discovers that the babysitter is literally an ogre? And the babysitter begins to read from a book, and the characters in each tale materialize…? Come see this telling of tales with, as the LA Times described it, “decidedly adult chills.”
