Comedy Characters: flexible cast of 12-28 males & Females (doubling possible)
This extremely adaptable comedy shows the other side of several familiar fairy tales when two of their biggest villains, the Big Bad Wolf and the Wicked Witch, are brought to trial. Both the Wolf and the Witch have been frolicking from fairy tale to fairy tale wreaking havoc as they try to prevent the general public from living happily ever after. Hear the personal accounts of what happened, told in testimonies and flashback sequences, from characters such as Snow White, Dorothy, Sleeping Beauty, the Three Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and many others, including the Witch and the Wolf themselves, as each trial unfolds. The audience is the jury, so each trial has two endings depending on the verdict.
"This show has the rare qualities necessary to be funny for the whole family."-- M.A. Sterling, Director
The trials can be performed separately with few small cuts for running time of approximately 30 minutes each, or together with no cuts for a running time of about one hour and 15 minutes.
