"These are woods you'll want to get lost in, a place you'll find buried treasures that you didn't know existed"
The New York Times
Menier Chocolate Factory presents Fiasco Theatre's radical re-imagining of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's cautionary visit to a land far-far away, featuring all of our favourite fairytale characters, as you've never seen them before. Stripping the show back to just 10 actors, a piano, and a mounted wolf head, the flights of fancy of the magical world is be rawer and more imaginatively played than ever before.
Much cherished, Into The Woods first appeared on Broadway in 1986 and has been revived many times since, becoming a part of the American musical theatre canon.
A darkly witty show, Into the Woods invites us back into the universe created by the Grimm brothers and their stories, that we easily inhabited as children. With Cinderella, Jack (of beanstalk fame), Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and more making an appearance in the tale of a simple baker and his wife, who have been cursed by the Wicked Witch. As the plot unfolds, we see the consequences of a wish and how they can start off being everything you ever dreamed of, and evolve into the reason for your despair.
The moral of this story is that unfortunately, we all have to grow up sometime, and happily ever after is usually just a myth, told with typical Sondheim flair.
