Mathew Green: What You Wish For (short) by David Hilder

“

A contemporary spin on the twisted fairy tale, full of corporate and sexual intrigue. Wild, funny, and more than a little bit relevant to our times. A bracing dark comedy.

It's so hard being a woman in the workplace! This short is a modern adaptation of Rumpelstiltskin with 100% more sex than the original. The jokes are constant, the cynicism is sharp, and the orgasms abound. A perfect twisted fairy tale.

What You Wish For is a darkly hilarious and deeply cynical reimagining of the Rumpelstiltskin tale, blending workplace satire with sharp wit and discomforting humor. The play exposes the cost of desires and the contradictions of modern life, leaving audiences laughing while questioning the price of happiness.
