We all know the princesses from children’s fairy tales. Always beautiful, cheerful and kind. And of course… they all know how to sing. But do we really know the lives of those princesses? Do we know what their own fairy tale meant for them? What became of them?
The other side of “and they lived happily ever after.” Don’t Touch My Fairy Tale shows how four princesses rebel and demand to tell the other side of the story. The part that is never told because, after all, it isn’t as pretty as they say…
We are fed up with our condition as princesses, with being perfect, with living happily ever after! Don’t Touch My Fairy Tale is a bold and provocative musical comedy that presents a realistic version of four princesses from classic fairy tales (Snow White, Cinderella, Belle and Aurora) who, after the “happily ever after,” get together to complain, laugh and cry about the pain, traumas and insecurities that were never told. Written and directed by Olivia Lara, the play seeks to free these women from their ideal roles, showing their most human and real side, interacting with the audience and breaking the fourth wall.
