After Happily Ever After

Recommended by

    Do we feel a little sorry for poor Prince Charming? So handsome, so clichéd, so shallow, so DUMB. Poor schmuck just wants his story to turn out right and sassy, independent Princess refuses to play along. Rachel Feeny-Williams turns the tables on her title's cliché with verve, wit, and economy. But just as Princess has her woodsman waiting, so Prince Charming can always find the Duchess he cares about just as much (or as little) as he cared about Princess.

    What a fantastic show by the incomparable Rachel Feeny-Williams. Brilliantly crafted to expose the sham that is fairytale endings by telling the story just after. As a reader you become stuck between the pathos of Charming and the independence of Princess. Rachel hits you hard with some really important truths about relationships along the way, including the cyclical nature. Really great show by a fantastic playwright.

    A hoot and it strikes at the fecklessness of the fairy tale template. Wish there were more like Princess and fewer like Prince. (Maybe he should drop the title and just be Charming, get to know some folks, friends and such, before settling down.) Why do fairy tales seem to value beauty above all else? With humor and panache, HAPPILY EVER AFTER advocates getting to know each other before we wed. Has anyone in a fairy tale had a date? I like Princess for having a "cheeky snog" (perhaps in the snug of a pub) with the woodsman.
