Brandeis Ensemble Theater (BET) presents
Cinderella Waltz
Carl J. Shapiro Theater, Shapiro Campus Center
2:00 p.m.
Rosey Snow is trapped in a fairy tale world that is by turns funny and a little frightening, with her stepsisters Goneril and Regan, her demented stepmother, her lecherous father, a bewildered Prince, a fairy godmother who sings salty old sailor songs, a troll and a possibly homicidal village idiot. This play investigates the archetypal origins of the world's most popular fairy tale, contrasting the familiar and charming Perrault version with the darker, more ancient and disturbing tale recorded by the brothers Grimm. Grotesque farce and romantic fantasy blend in a fairy tale for adults.
Purchase tickets online, by phone at (781) 736-3400, and in person at Brandeis Tickets in the Shapiro Campus Center.
