A PLAYSCRIPTS TITLE
Full-Length Play, Comedy / 5 any gender (youth) plus ensemble
Don Zolidis
Two narrators attempt to recreate all 209 of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in a wild, fast-paced extravaganza.
The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are turned on their heads in this fast-paced, rollicking ride as two narrators and several actors attempt to combine all 209 stories ranging from classics like Snow White, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel to more bizarre, obscure stories like The Devil’s Grandmother and The Girl Without Hands. A wild, free-form comedy with lots of audience participation and madcap fun.
Since its first production in 2007, The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon has been performed thousands of times across the US and internationally.

Author’s Note: Any of the roles may be played by any actor of any gender, race, or ethnicity. There are some moments, when actors switch roles, that it might be funnier if Dwarf 2 was played by a male-presenting person and Snow White was played by a female-presenting person, but in general there’s no reason to be overly restrictive in casting. This is all make-believe here.
The stage can be anything, really. Anytime.
