They're all among the cockeyed characters in a href="http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000106#"James Lapine/a and a href="http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000106#"Stephen Sondheim/a's fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of span style="font-style: italic;"The Princess Bride/span becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. brbr One of a href="http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000106#"Sondheim/a's most popular works, strongINTO THE WOODS /strongis a timeless yet relevant piece and a rare modern classic.
