Synopsis

The Emperor gets naked because he’s a dignified nudist. Rumpelstiltskin is punished for trying to restrict a woman’s reproductive rights. Cinderella turns her rags, not into riches, but into a campaign for the liberation of cross-gendered Princes. Doesn’t that sound like fun? Yes, yes it does.  (Show Facebook Event)
