Stephen Sondheim
'Into The Woods'

Synopsis:
Synopsis
Into The Woods
Works on all levels at its basic level it’s a drama/comedy fairy tale of all the characters we are familiar with from the pages of our story books. At another level it is a look at mankind, at our culture, upbringing, and how this can and does, influence our actions. Basic desires that we want to be fulfilled drive us to manipulate, lie, cheat, steal in some form or other.. The characters vary from passive aggressive, the ‘nice person’ to the Witch who lays her cards on the table.
Into the Woods is also about how when we delve into ourselves, our own ‘woods’ tangled, scary, and dark as it may be, we can discover not only our weaknesses but our strengths. It’s a ripper of a musical, with all the right components for success, but just as important, it’s a journey that is infinitely satisfying.
