Play Summary
As the result of a curse by a once-beautiful witch, a baker and his wife are left childless. Three days before the rise of a blue moon, they venture into an enchanted forest to find the ingredients needed to reverse the spell and restore the witch’s beauty: a milk-white cow, hair as yellow as corn, a blood-red cape, and a slipper of gold. During their journey, they encounter a trove of storybook characters—Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Jack—each one on a quest to fulfill a wish, as they chase their deepest desires into the woods.
