“
O'Grady guts the mythos of Disney's Beauty and the Beast for its patriarchal and sexist views of women and in doing so offers an unexpected Belle, gutsy and smart, victorious -- just like the many women of the Me Too Movement. Belle's reflection on her life really made me think about this fairy tale in a new light and forces me to not take fairy tales on face value and always read them or see them in stage and screen, just to be sure, with a feminist lens. A perfect addition to any fairy tale themed or feminist solo festival. ”
