About this show
Welcome to Fairytale Land, the world’s most successful theme park, where happily-ever-afters run on a loop. Run by Grimm Corp, it exploits a dimensional rift, forcing fairytale characters to relive their stories for public entertainment. Enter Andie, who knows the park isn’t what it seems. With two documentary filmmakers, she sneaks inside, exposing the truth and daring a midnight character heist. But inside, nothing is straightforward. Memories shift. Stories clash. And some characters may not want to leave. Fast, funny and unsettling, this darkly comic show asks: Is escape freedom, or just another story we’re told?
