“ Wonderfully dark and very funny short play about some familiar fairy-tale characters having a group-therapy session that goes horribly wrong. I laughed out loud at many of the lines and the surprising things the characters say (and do!). I'd love to see it on stage! ”

“ These are not your grandmother's fairy tales! "Fable Group" is an interesting look at fairy tale characters and the traumas they faced from growing up in a fairy tale. In this dark comedy, Martineau shows us that sometimes ever after isn't happy. ”

“ I love this group therapy play with fairy tale characters. Each of the characters carries their own traumas, which we tend to gloss over as children, but the backstories are truly terrible when you think about it! The play goes dark in the end, but in the midst of that, we can't help but laugh in horror at the things we've ignored for so long. This is a great piece that make you want to pay better attention to the stories we take for granted! I'd love to see it on stage! ”

“ Shrewd and witty take on the ‘group therapy’ trope with fairy tale characters, like former child actors or alcoholics, facing up to their demons. Now earning 21st century legit and illegit livings, literary pasts are cleverly translated into modern day traumas and coping with daily life where, for example, tanning operative Snow White is hired but then fired for being too pale - obvious discrimination but with no employment rights in her kingdom home. Colourful characters, a funny, sometimes violent, but always thoughtful script and, luckily for all, the gunshot-free equivalent of a happy ending! ”
