Get ready for a wild ride as “F***ed Up Fairytales” turns classic fairytales upside down and inside out in this bold, interactive, 21+ theatrical experience! Rising Sun Performance Company (RSPC) invites you to join the most unexpected re-imaginings of beloved tales, each twisted into something completely new and exciting.
Step into Hansel and Gretel as a thrilling manga saga, dive into The White Snake reimagined as a raunchy slapstick comedy, and experience Rumpelstiltskin as a gripping film noir. Watch Rapunzel’s high-octane spy adventure unfold before your eyes, and brace yourself for Little Red Riding Hood’s spine-chilling horror adaptation.
Here’s the twist: “F***ed Up Fairytales” is interactive! Each night, the show rotates and YOU, the audience, will help determine which of the three stories will be performed each night. With immersive elements and drinks on tap to fuel the fun, you’ll be part of the action, influencing the adventure as it unfolds in real-time.
