Scried this week from around the witchy webs are these two bits of news:
In BORDENTOWN NJ there is an upcoming delight of a story this weekend being put on by the
students of Bordentown Regional High School.
The Witch's Princess will be performed by an award winning cast on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26
at 7:30PM at the Bordentown Performing Arts Center.
The Witch's Princess by Don Zolidis flips the usual fairy tale plot on its head. The play is a
comedic fairy tale set in a cursed kingdom. The only way to lift the curse is to slay the witch.
The king decides to offer his daughter’s hand in marriage to the knight who can slay the evil bog
witch. (because its always the princess’ responsibility to be the
reward for fixing the kingdom right? To avoid a lifetime of laundry and cooking to a clueless
knight, the princess takes matters into her own hands and sneaks out of the castle to kill the
witch herself.
She assembles the deadliest monsters in myth and legend to help her, and grows with the
discovery that the monsters aren’t what they seem. The narrative about the witch and the curse
has also been skewed too!
Tickets for this comedy production The Witch's Princess are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students and can be purchased
online in advance at www.seatyourself.biz/brhs.
Brainerd Dispatch recently brought our attention to a cozy witchy read just right for the season.
