    I laughed out loud several times reading this short play. The familiar characters are given clear tactics and traits that are way more relatable than their original fairy tale iterations. This accessible and funny piece would be a clever addition to any festival!

    I was delighted when I saw the reading of this at the 2023 Midwest Dramatists Conference. Having Mother Goose as a marriage therapist is brilliant touch. I loved that she is called "Dr. Goose". I really love how it uses the fairy tale trope to talk about modern problems, and to highlight how ridiculous some of our stories are. Very funny.

    A princess and a frog walk into a therapist's office...

    This sweet and fresh take on the twisted fairytale by MICHAEL WATERSON was a true delight to see performed at the 2023 Midwest Dramatists Conference. Mother Goose is the prefect therapist... or is she?
