Escape from Fairytale Land
Fib and Fable • Amateur Company
About Fib and Fable
Escape from Fairytale Land is a darkly comic theatre show by Fib and Fable at Haldane Theatre. Fairytale Land is the world's most successful theme park, run by Grimm Corp, which exploits a dimensional rift to force fairytale characters to relive their stories for public entertainment. When Andie and two documentary filmmakers sneak inside to expose the truth, they discover that memories shift, stories clash and some characters may not want to leave. Fast, funny and unsettling, the show asks whether escape is freedom or just another story we are told.
Why see this show?
A smart, darkly comic premise executed with imagination — part heist, part fairytale critique, part meditation on narrative itself. Fib and Fable pack a lot into 50 minutes.
