If the Shoe Fits

Recommended by

  • Charles Scott Jones: If the Shoe Fits

    It's hard to fully embrace derivative plays and to write a fresh take on Cinderella, a tall order. Well met, by Molly Wagner. Yes, the Godmother’s argument makes sense in the ideal world, but - wow - giving in to the kind of linear logic she presents, that life is a series of moments, each equal to the one before - not for Cinderella. Or me. I love Cindy’s monologue on page 6, the Godmother’s bossy vocalization “Up-bup-bup!” and the marvelous conclusion. Memories are sustainable, as the memory of IF THE SHOE FITS will attest.

    "Everyone loves a costume change" and this play give us a beautiful perspective on the Fairy Godmother empowering a young woman to be herself. Fun, relatable banter and lovely insights make this fairytale moment a humorous and endearing exchange for all!

    Felt like I was reading a hidden scene. A great twist on this classic fairytale with a rather deep and intuitive message. I feel this would be great as a mental health awareness piece. Screw conventionalism and the pressures of societal normalities. Be yourself and not a sheep. If people don't like it they're not worth knowing. Great work.
