    “ Big Bad Wolf and his wife has to be the most intriguing relationship I've seen in a while. We all know that the big bad wolf blew down the pigs house and swallowed up red riding hood, but what if he decides not to any more? That's the fascinating and funny conversation Marcia presents to us in this brilliantly funny piece. Take the realm of fairy tales and presenting a modern perspective as well as a twist is just a wonderful idea. Its a piece I coldn't help but laugh at and I know it would make a great show! ”

    “ I love plays that take familiar tropes and turn them inside out. This play does that in a hilarious way. I recently saw a production of this at Fonseca Theatre in Indianapolis, and it was full of laugh-out-loud moments mixed with a light-hearted examination of why a certain wolf shows up in so many fairy tales, and what it means to be truly bad. ”

    “ I love to see fairy tale characters outside of their original stories. And the fun in this piece is revealing that even the 3 little pigs can be evil, too. It's all perspective. Things change, but there is always someone or something being wronged by our actions. Everyone is SOMEONE's villain. And Queenie and Big Bad are perfectly fun characters to play! ”

    “ There is someone for everyone. Queenie and Big Bad are a novel couple that belong in the same neighborhood as Gomez and Morticia. How gleefully evil they are is the romantic glue in their relationship. This is a delightful and would be so much fun to watch! ”

    “ Marcia Eppich-Harris accomplishes something fascinating in this 10-minute take on the classic tale of the Three Little Pigs by inviting us to see what happens after the Big Bad Wolf comes home to his Lady-McB-rivalling wife, Queenie. There's humor, there's intrigue, there's bad as good and good as bad and something delightful about something so evil. Impeccable short play! ”

    “ If Warner Brothers made a cartoon version of The Scottish Play, it might look a little something like this.

    There are SO MANY dynamics and themes happening here. From the celebration of evil and terror as primal masculinity to the examination of the motivations and perspectives of literary antagonists and all sorts of social, sexual, and political dynamics in between. Dissertations could be written!

    Most importantly, it’s entertaining as all get-out. Eppich-Harris has laid a groundwork of great roles for actors and tremendous inspration for makeup and costume designers. Possibilities abound!

    CONFESSIONS… will blow your house down! ”
