It's not easy growing up in a fairy tale world. In this short play, five young characters from fable join in a group therapy setting where they work with their therapist Camille on mommy/daddy issues, substance addiction, and pathological mythomania to hilarious effect. Jack (of Beanstalk fame) is the latest trouble teen to join the group, and his arrival threaten to throw the whole lot into a downward spiral of chaos and violence.

This play offers a captivating exploration of trauma and resilience within a twisted fairy tale framework. Martineau uses very skillful storytelling and authentic dialogue to delve into the complexities of healing and personal growth. I really enjoyed this play. Excellent!

This play delves into the psychological impact of traumatic childhood experiences on the characters. Each character, representing familiar fairy tale figures, copes with their unique traumas, from abusive stepmothers to imprisonment in gingerbread houses. The therapy session becomes a space for them to confront and heal from their pasts.
