Guess what? I'm doing a rewatch of Faerie Tale Theatre. Every day or so I've been watching a new episode.

Some of them I haven't seen since I was in elementary school, and I've been enjoying them very much. So far I've gone from The Frog Prince through The Princess and the Pea and the next episode I'll be watching is Pinocchio.

I have two comments about aspects of certain episodes that are bugging me, though.

Is it just me, or is Little Red Riding Hood slightly unclear about its message in the end? Of course it has the standard message in which Mary (Red Riding Hood) learns to be less naïve and not to talk to strangers or stray from the path anymore. So in other words, she should have listened to her parents, right? Then why is her father portrayed as such an overprotective jerk? At the beginning of the episode, she has no friends, never goes out except to visit her granny, and is treated like a child at home instead of the young woman she is. (The fact that Mary Steenburgen was 30 makes it all seem even more ridiculous, though I assume the character is supposed to be about 15 or 16.) Then he blocks her budding romance with Christopher because he thinks Christopher isn't good enough for her. You'd expect this to lead to an ending where her father admits he's been overprotective, that by keeping her so sheltered and lonely he caused her to fall for the Wolf's sweet talk, and that it's time to let her grow up. Maybe all these realizations are supposed to be implicit, since he does reconcile with Christopher after the latter rescues Mary and Granny (albeit in a non-apology, "pretending there was never any conflict" sort of way, for comic effect) and lets Mary be with him after all. But the narrator only talks about Mary learning to be wiser and more cautious in the end, as if she realizes her father was right all along. Is it just me, or should there have been more of a compromise between Mary and her father, where they both admitted they were wrong and he agreed to let her be more free while she agreed to be more cautious? Again, maybe this is implicit for most viewers, but too subtle on the father's side for my autistic brain. Does anyone else think this episode's ending could have been better written?

In The Princess and the Pea, is it just me, or does it feel like a scene is missing from Prince Richard and Princess Alecia's romance arc? In their second scene together, they have a big argument when Alecia accuses Richard of only looking for shallow qualities in his bride-search. But then in the next scene they share, Alecia is playfully directing Richard and the Fool in a fencing duel, and all three of them are chatting like friends, as if the argument never happened. Was there a scene cut for time where she and Richard made up? The review of this episode from the Up On The Shelf blog praises it as an excellent romantic comedy, and especially praises the romance arc for feeling so "real." I would agree, except I don't understand why they go from fighting to friendship with no transition. Again, maybe this is my autism brain again – I expect people to follow certain "rules" of conflict resolution, and it baffles me when they forgive each other too easily. But I have to fill in the blank with a missing scene to fully appreciate this love story.

I know I'm overthinking an '80s fairy tale TV series that never takes itself too seriously. Still, I wanted to express it.

NaNo Influence #2: The Tales of Shelley Duvall

The next review on my channel--which yes, I’m still working on, and no, will probably not be done anytime soon--is a Bargain Bin Review of a strange little made for TV movie from the late eighties called Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Rhyme. The story imagines a world where all the nursery rhymes of Mother Goose live, from Jack and Jill to the Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe, and they are compelled to live out their nursery rhymes. Like, Jack and Jill HAVE to fall down the hill every time they try to get water. Mary’s little lamb--no longer little anymore--HAS to follow her everywhere she goes. Humpty Dumpty HAS to fall off the wall. Like that. It’s another thing we had a VHS recording of when I was a kid that I watched over and over. Both the idea of having all these different stories existing in the same place (an influence I also picked up from Into the Woods, as you read yesterday) and the idea of taking these stories beyond their original parameters (also discussed yesterday) were both fascinating to me, though I didn’t realize it at the time.

But this wasn’t the only Shelley Duvall creation that was a part of my childhood. Duvall decided, after being in The Shining, that she wanted to make children’s entertainment. Though there’s quite a bit of adult humor in Mother Goose, it’s still ostensibly for kids. But in addition to that story, she also produced Faerie Tale Theatre, a collection of twenty-six roughly hour-long programs which retold various faerie tales, using a minimal budget and several well-known or up-and-coming stars, like James Earl Jones (who played the Genie in Aladdin), Matthew Broderick (who played the Prince in Cinderella), and Robin Williams (who played the Frog in the Frog Prince). I watched a lot of these growing up, and what I loved about them was the context they gave the faerie tales.

For example, in the Three Little Pigs (which, incidentally, featured Billy Crystal as the third Little Pig and Jeff Goldblum as the Wolf), the three pigs are actually given distinct personalities beyond the houses they build. The first pig builds a straw house because it’s the cheapest material he can find, and he’s looking to become the richest pig in the world. The second pig fancies himself a ladies’ man, and uses sticks both for the price and for the rustic feel it will give his house. Even the wolf gets a backstory, going out to find pigs in order to placate his nagging wife who wants to entertain some dinner guests. And that’s just one example. In fact, as I was rereading the Arabian Nights tale Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp in preparation for writing the next Books vs. Movies review, I was surprised to discover that most of what I remembered from the faerie tale didn’t come from the actual story, but from the faerie tale theatre version of it.

Aside from Into the Woods, this was really my introduction to contextualizing faerie tales, even more so than Disney. Not all of these retellings were good, but I loved the ones that were, and watched them many times. Aladdin and Three Little Pigs in particular were influential in stories that I made up. Once upon a time (see what I did there?) I did my own parody-esque version Three Little Pigs called the Three Little Kids and the Big Bad Baby (yes, for for real), and used the personality of one of the money-grubbing pig from the faerie tale theatre story for one of my characters. These stories are also, incidentally, the reason why I spell “faerie tale” the way I do. (Also, it’s just a much cooler spelling.) I still strive, in many of my stories, to take classic tales that are somewhat generic, and give them a context of sorts, something to anchor them to real life and real people.

Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Beauty and the Beast (2017). Genre: Family,Fantasy,Musical.

Director:Bill Condon,

Writers:,Stephen Chbosky,Evan Spiliotopoulos

Stars:"Emma Watson,Dan Stevens,Luke Evans

Storyline

An adaptation of the fairy tale about a monstrous-looking prince and a young woman who fall in love.

Keywords,beast,fairy tale,disney,heroine,beast's heart,

Honest Review

Sure, I'm a huge film snob who (on the surface) only likes artsy-fartsy foreign films from before the 60's, but that hasn't stopped me from loving Disney's Beauty & The Beast; in fact, it's probably my favorite American animated film and is easily Disney's finest work. It's beautiful, it's breathtaking, it's warm, it's hilarious, it's captivating, and, in Disney fashion, it's magical. When I learned that Disney would be remaking their classic films, B&TB was undeniably the best wrapped package. How could they go wrong?Oh man, they went wrong.First thing's first: this film is so flat. The directing was dull and uninteresting throughout the entire film and it honestly felt like one of the Twilight sequels...and then I looked it up and found out that, yes, director Bill Condon was the man behind Breaking Dawn parts 1 & 2. Every shot looks bored and uninterested, which contrasts heavily with the original animated film that was constantly popping with vibrancy. The script too is boring because it's almost a complete remake of the original, though I guess most people won't mind that.Next: the CGI is horrid. Although I didn't care for The Jungle Book from last year, I could at least admit that the CGI was breathtaking. The same cant be said for this film. Characters like Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs Potts, and most of the cursed appliances have very strange, lifeless faces that are pretty off putting to be looking at for such a long time. All of the sets too look artificial and fake, especially the town towards the beginning. However, the biggest offender is easily and infuriatingly the character that mattered most: The Beast. The CGI on the Beast's face is so distracting that it completely takes you out of the film. His eyes are completely devoid of soul, and his mouth is a gaping video game black hole of fiction. Klaus Kinski looked much better in the Faerie Tale Theatre episode of Beauty & The Beast, and that was a 1984 TV show episode. But do you know why it looked better? Because it was an actual face with actual eyes, not some video game computerized synthetic monstrosity. When will studios learn that practical effects will always top CGI?Finally: wasted casting. Emma Watson is beautiful, but she's no Belle. She is completely devoid of the warmth and humanity that made the animated Belle so beloved. Instead, she is cold and heartless throughout most of the film. Kevin Kline is 100% wasted and does nothing except look old. Ian McKellan, Ewan McGregor, Emma Thompson, and even Dan Stevens as the Beast are very expendable and could've been played by anyone else. The only good characters are Gaston and LeFou, mostly because they are fun and played by actors who breathe new life into their original shapes. If anything, this film should've been about Gaston and LeFou, but that would never happen because that would mean Disney couldn't cater to blind nostalgic 90's kids.Overall, this film is a complete bore. It could've been better if even the special effects were good, but the CGI in particular is horrendous. I'm all for Disney remaking their nostalgia- catering 90's films, but they need to be interesting. This film, sadly, is not. Even the Christmas sequel is better than this film because it's at least something.

Dramaturgy amidst Thorns: Kaleidoscope Theatre @ Edfringe 2017

Kaleidoscope Theatre at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

DREAMING AMIDST THORNS

"Tear out all the pages and wash out every word

For all these other stories are absurd"

Kaleidoscope Theatre returns to the Fringe, after 12 years away, to premiere its new play.

Dreaming Amidst Thorns is an allegorical and original faerie tale reflecting on the fragile and fragmented world of today. The show strives to keep alive the questing spirit and utopian quest for a better world and to stay sympathetic to the ethos of both its venue and the festival fringe.

Venue 40: Quaker Meeting House

Date: 14-19 August Time: 18-30 (19.45)

What was the inspiration for this performance?

The world we all live in. Dismay at the fragile & fractured place it has become due to selfishness, greed, prejudice, war, the desire for power & possession & lack of foresight, compassion & understanding of what our true relationship with the world, & all things that live upon it, should be.

The displacement of people & loss of life & home & identity.

Underlying themes running through this allegorical play touch upon the questions of “Who am I?" & “Where am I?” What is it that makes us truly happy & at peace with ourselves & each other? What is happening to the planet as old forests are falling fast, ocean life is dying & hot sun parches the earth?

In Dreaming Amidst Thorns a baby is left alone in a forest & so it is that a new life & a new story begins. A book opens & we step into its chapters to become a part of them. Hiding in its pages is the sinister & soul-less Swelterdoar, the man who is always waiting in the shadows for the right moment to appear, who seeks to destroy any story but his own &, in so doing, people’s lives & the planet. He represents the essence of all that is wrong with the world today in its search for some kind of happiness through control & economic or personal wealth.

Lost children, far from home & with no names, set out upon a journey to discover who they are &, in so doing, learn how to look & listen, to heal what is wounded & to open their minds to what is really happening around them. They undertake this quest on behalf of humanity. The show seeks to entertain & enchant, however, as well as enlighten its audience & invites folk to leave behind everyday life for a while by stepping into A Land of Somewhere Else.

Kaleidoscope Theatre’s players are inspired by the beauty of simplicity & by music, dance, dramatic gesture & voice. They seek to portray reality & wonder, sadness & joy, storm & silence, foolishness & wisdom, deception & truth, despair & hope & to provide things to ponder upon as the show draws to a close. Kaleidoscope endeavours to tell a faerie story as they were meant to be told, to lead us into that journey through life - through the forest of darkness & light, danger & sanctuary, mystery & enlightenment.

Dreaming Amidst Thorns may conjure up a picture of a pre-Raphaelite painting of Briar Rose asleep, & awaiting her summer prince to awaken her, but it also provokes the image of a threatening thicket of barbed wire imprisoning a dream of love, truth & the 'happy ever after' life we all aspire to.

Dreaming Amidst Thorns has been inspired, most of all, by the ethos & spirit of its venue, the Quaker Meeting House, & by the Festival Fringe itself.

Is performance still a good space for the public discussion of ideas?

There is nothing better. Good theatre, dance & music inspire, provoke & teach us all.

How did you become interested in making performance?

As a way of encouraging the creative spirit in people of all ages & from all walks of life. To become immersed in all aspects of play making - script, soundtrack, choreography, costume, dramatic gesture & voice & to share its story with each other & the audience. To encourage deeper thought & understanding.

Is there any particular approach to the making of the show?

We begin with the themes for a new show. Then layer upon layer is added as the story, scenes & characters are all developed in rehearsals. Imagery, allegory & symbolism, as in any good faerie tale, all play a part. A production continues to remain open to new thought & to transformation throughout its life.

Does the show fit with your usual productions?

Yes. We always incorporate dance, drama, mime, music & voice in our shows & write our own scripts. The only exception to this is when we venture into the world of Charles Dickens & even then our plays are different from the usual story adaptations.

What do you hope that the audience will experience?

We hope that an audience will experience an escape from the harsh realities of everyday life for a while, to journey with us into a magical & mysterious world of forest & faerie folk that, nevertheless, runs parallel to our own. To experience a unique style of play production, an uplifting of the spirit & something special to take away with them - to remember & to ponder upon.

What strategies did you consider towards shaping this audience experience?

To seek & recapture the essence of long ago stories & to awaken a reverence for life in all its myriad forms. To remember that there is beauty in simplicity & that there is an uplifting of the spirit when we hear mesmerising music, or see dance & dramatic gesture, to hear lyrical verse & to be immersed totally in what is unfolding before you on the stage. To ensure that the play taxes intellectually as well as emotionally.

The Company: Kaleidoscope Theatre, founded in 1980 by its artistic directors, is unusual in that

7 members live as a family-style community all year round whilst the rest of the cast come at

weekends to rehearse. No one is paid or drama school trained. Shows are created entirely in-house

and performed by its 20 players, of all ages and from varied walks of life, with little money but

with a passion for their story. Costumes and props are recycled and reinvented.

Kaleidoscope has, nevertheless, performed high quality theatre in many wonderful places over the

years, including the RSC's Swan Theatre, international festivals at home and abroad and,

on 12 occasions, at the Edinburgh Fringe. It has played to full houses and excellent reviews.

Kaleidoscope Theatre comes to the Fringe with a story it believes in and trusts that, in its beautiful

simplicity, the play will hold a powerful message for all those who care deeply about creativity,

compassion, unity, our planet and everything that lives upon it.

The Play: A mysterious baby is left alone in a forest & a new story is born. Her one joy is the now

& then appearance of a nightingale. Then, one day, the bird comes no more & the girl sets out to discover who she is. She encounters lost children wandering through a fragmented faerie tale world

&, together, they venture deep into the wood in search of truth, harmony & home. The sinister &

soul-less Swelterdoar, meanwhile, emerges from the shadows to divide, destroy & deny universal truths. In exploiting & endangering life in all its myriad forms, he becomes an ever-present peril.

Touching upon stolen lives & stories in a fast disappearing natural world this play interweaves mesmerising mime, music, dance, drama & voice to entertain, enlighten & enchant everyone.

The Festival of the Fires

Our fabulous news item introduces the Festival of Fires which is a resuscitation of the ancient fires of Tara that were lit on the Hill of Uisneach and the taken from County to County to ignite all of the fires in Ireland. Originally known as Bealtaine, the summertime festival was an important fixture on the worldwide calendar, attracting attendees from the four corners of the ancient world. Having not being officially celebrated in hundreds of years the festival is to return, rising from the ashes of the Bealtaine name as Festival of the Fires. It promises to be an event unlike anything ever witnessed in modern times - an iconic national celebration to truly ignite the summer. Created through the alchemy of ceremony, heritage, music, theatre, literature, arts, crafts, poetry, holistic health and sustainability.

Festival of the Fires will feature the collective talents of hundreds of participants drawn from all over Ireland and the world, gathering at the exact centre-point of Ireland to celebrate the onset of summer.

One of the ceremonial highlights of the festival will be the lighting of a national fire, ignited first on the summit of Uisneach and then carried to hilltops in every one of Ireland's 32 counties. In ancient times, this sacred Uisneach fire was the catalyst for coast-to-coast celebrations with festivals and gatherings taking place in the fire sites, and in the communities below.

You can find out more about the festival on the website at http://festivalofthefires.com/.

Damh is also the relaxed voice behind Druidcast, the podcast from the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD).

You can find out more about Damh and his work on his website at paganmusic.co.uk or on our Contributor Page.

Cerri Lee

Cerri Lee is a multi-talented visionary artist who can turn her hand to almost anything creative.

She can create anything from Rights of Passage gifts and altar pieces to wedding and birthday gifts, and will happily take on commissions. Each piece of artwork she creates is individual and can be personalised to you or your loved ones.

Her artwork has been used for album covers, featured in leading Pagan magazines, used as tattoos, and her sculptures are sent throughout the world.

Cerri is equally in her element when she is up to her elbows in clay or painting one of her fabulous pictures. She is partner to Druid musician and long-time supporter of our show, Damh the Bard and can be found supporting him at many of his performances.

You can see a gallery of Cerri's artist work on our website at Cerri's Gallery and you can find out more about Cerri and her work on her website on cerrilee.com or on our Contributor page.

Grimspound

by Damh the Bard

Grimspound is a late Bronze Age settlement high on the moor. It’s surrounded by a large fallen stone wall, and inside you can still see the remains of the roundhouses. On a beautiful day it is incredibly peaceful, but on a typical Dartmoor day, with the wind and the rain, it must have been a harsh place to live.

"I sat with my guitar inside the remains of one of the roundhouses and just began to play on the guitar – looking around, breathing in the history of the place, imagining it full of life. What kind of people lived there. A Raven called overhead, and I felt I could see torchlight on the Tors either side of me. Voices of the Ancestors singing. The Land singing. And the melody of the guitar began to take shape. A ghostly and reflective refrain."

Competition

Damh left us with a signed copy of his latest album, Tales from the Crowman, to give away as a competition prize. So, we set a competition based on Welsh Mythology for you.

Spirit of Albion

by Damh the Bard

Damh plays us his rousing anthem, a paean of praise to the land, Spirit of Albion from the album of the same name.
