Snow White

By Shifting Forest Storyworks
Players: 6-8
Genre: Dark fairy tale
Of
all traditional fairy tales that were adapted and censored for children in
modern renditions, Snow White has perhaps undergone the most change. Today’s
bedtime story of an innocent princess, seven happy little men and true love forgets
the original undertones of desperation, poverty, and sexuality. One cannot tell
the story of Snow White without going back to a time in which men were valued
only for their size and stamina, and women only for their beauty and ability to
bear children; a time in which glass was so rare that a polished mirror was
truly a frightening thing of magic.
Most
of the original characters and a few new ones are present in this adaptation of
the older, darker, and more vivid story of Snow White. It is set in the hours
before the execution of the Queen and subsequent wedding of the Prince and
Princess. A time of last chances and new beginnings.
