These four hour-long short plays, with songs, are set around the court of the amiable muffin-loving King Horace, his twin brother Tiresias who is the Royal Soothsayer, Horace's formidable second wife Queen Beatrice, and the Queen's sister, the even more formidable Bertha, who is a witch.
In each play, traditional fairy tales receive an unexpected and amusing re-working.
The plays are:
The Princess and the Toad
Beast
Rumplestiltskin and the Sleeping Beauty
Snow white and the Big Bad Wolf
