About the show 

Director and drama instructor Holly Johnson provided the following play synopsis:

When the aging king of a Magical Kingdom (England) decides to split his empire among his three daughters, Cinderella, Belle and the Snow Queen-who-in-no-way-resembles-a-copyrighted-character, tragedy ensues. Terrible, hilarious tragedy. Combining the gut-wrenching plot twists of the popular television series and the soul-numbing despair of Shakespearean tragedy, this adaptation of “King Lear” promises to leave the audience dying with laughter as the body count mounts. When you play the Game of Tiaras, you win, or you die.
