  • This will be followed by auditions on Sunday 2nd March, 3pm at Streatley Village Hall
  • The first rehearsal will be on Tuesday 22nd April at 7.45, also at Streatley Village Hall. If you are new and would like to be involved in this production, either on stage or off, you will find full details on our Contact Us page. We would love to hear from you!
"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."
