Fairy Fables

Fairy Fables is a comedy at the Stage that is a play on Red Riding Hood. The play stars Twee, Prince Redhood, Big Bad Wool, and Grumpunzel.

Story
A storyteller named Twee tells a story about a Prince named Prince Redhood bringing croissants to a princess (Grumpunzel). On the way to the Princess an evil sheep known as the Big Bad Wool attacks them and blows all the trees down in an attempt to get the croissants as he is very hungry.

Redhood uses a unicorn coming down from the sky as a distraction and escapes from the Big Bad Wool to continue on to Grumpunzel's castle. When he gets to the castle, Grumpunzel is in la-la-land and Redhood throws a snowball at her to wake her up. Redhood throws a snowball at her which wakes her up but all she can do is complain that she wanted cookies so Twee puts her back to sleep. At the end Redhood and the Big Bad Wool share the croissants.

Script
Twee: Once upon a time a prince was dressed all in RED...

Redhood: Red?! Are you sure? It's not really my color.

Twee: Don't interrupt! I said he was all dressed in RED!

Redhood: Oh. All right, then. What a lovely day!

Twee: He was taking croissants to a hungry princess.

Redhood: Golly, I hope she like pastries.

Twee: But suddenly, something jumped out of the trees!

Redhood: Oh no! A scary looking sheep!

Big Bad Wool: BAA! I am the Big Bad Wool and I'm hungry!

Redhood: What great big teeth you've got!

Big Bad Wool: All the better to eat croissants with!

Redhood: No chance, Woolly! They're for the princess.

Big Bad Wool: BAA! Then I'll huff and I'll puff...

Twee: And the Big Bad Wool blew all the trees down.

Redhood: Oh no! What am I going to do?

Twee: You need to distract the sheep, of course!

Redhood: Oh yes. Look over there!

Big Bad Wool: A unicorn flying through the sky? BAA-zaa!

Redhood: Aha, now I can escape!

Twee: Finally the prince arrived at the castle.

Redhood: Now I will climb up Grumpunzel's long hair.

Twee: You'll have to make do with a ladder.

Redhood: If I must...

Grumpunzel: La la la la...

Redhood: She's totally lost in la-la-land. What do I do now?

Twee: Throw a magic snowball at her, of course!

Redhood throws a snowball at Grumpunzel

Grumpunzel: Oi! What do you think you're doing?

Redhood: Princess! I've brought you some croissants!

Grumpunzel: Croissants? I asked for COOKIES!

Redhood: Guess they don't call her Grumpunzel for nothing

Twee: I think she should go back to la-la-land. ZAP!

Big Bad Wool: BAA! Excuse me! I'm really hungry here!

Twee: Well there are plenty of croissants to go 'round.

Redhood: You'd better not wool them all down at once.

Twee: And they lived happily ever after.

THE END.
