Love, loss, theft, sorcery, seduction, betrayal, death. It’s no walk in the park.
Into the Woods, Sondheim and Lapine’s classic blending of Little Red Ridinghood, Jack & the Beanstalk, Cinderella and Rapunzel, has been a stage favourite for over 20 years.
It brings some of the best-known fairytales together with an original tale about a baker and his wife who spend the first act attempting to reverse a curse so that they may have a child.
All the tales reach their happy conclusions at the end of act one, but then the characters must deal with the results of their desperate search to get what they want – the most dangerous of which is the angry wife of the slain Giant.
Ultimately we are left with a finale about being careful of the legacy we leave, the tales we teach, and an awareness that no matter what battles we fight or whose side we’re on, all actions have consequences.
