Fairytale Feud by Clara Holz and Lily Heckert
FF Duo, Humorous Interp
Whose fairytale is this, anyway?! Snow White, a classic beauty who is a bit self-centered, or the rude but bold Rose Red? Depends on who you ask. In this clever twist on the timeless tale, the two performers play two different narrators, who each tell the story from the perspective of their chosen protagonist. Then, each performer also gets a chance to play their princess as well. This double-duality leads to lots of incidents, arguments, and hilarity as the princesses navigate charming princes and strange dwarves. How will the fairytale end? We’ll have to see which leading lady is willing to go the furthest to live happily ever after.

She spent the next seven years hiding in plain sight, in the attic space of a shed on her grandmother’s property. Her children having been purchased by their free, white father and given to the care of her grandmother only days after her escape – she alternately joyed and agonized as she listened to them grow up, unaware of her presence.

The work makes for an outstanding duo, with one performer as Linda and the other performer playing multiple characters.

And yes, it passes the Bechdel test!

The pair decides to create a comedic screenplay featuring anthropomorphized fruit, complete with a party scene where apples take center stage. However, their brainstorming hits many snags, not the least of which is they do not have any actual fruit. This chummy and cheeky script highlights the two friends’ contrasting personalities—Alex's need for structure versus Taylor's spontaneous creativity—as they work together to tackle the assignment.
