"People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it's the other way around." - Terry Pratchett
The fairytales we tell are not the fairytales we were told. Although they seem the same, the way these stories are shared and understood continues to adjust and adapt.
In Dionysus Theatre’s 'The Moral in the Oral'; The Maiden, The Mother, and The Crone recollect, recite and review the tales as they see them amidst banter, bickering, and their own bawdy sense of humour.
They seek real world reflections, malleable morals, and inescapable subversions in the stories we know but cannot always remember. They seek the characters with which they identify most, and accept that with ages they may not remain the same. They seek not new tales but a retelling of old ones for new audiences.
What do we need to still believe that the ending is indeed Happily Ever After?
