Into the Woods
An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little
Red Riding Hood? 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.
