'The Woods are just Trees. The Trees are just Wood.' - All together
In 1987, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine combined several classic
fairy tales including Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Jack
and the Beanstalk to create Into the Woods. Funny and heartfelt,
this musical explores what it might mean to act responsibly in
society, both as a parent and as a child. Situating the work within
Sondheim's oeuvre and the Broadway canon, Olaf Jubin first offers a
detailed reading of the show itself, before discussing key
productions in New York and London, and 2014's Oscar-nominated
screen adaptation. The radically different approaches to staging
Into the Woods are testament to how open the musical is to
re-interpretation for new audiences. A combination of critical
explication with performance and film analysis, as well as an
overview of popular and critical reception, this book is meant for
anyone who has enjoyed Into the Woods, be it as a musical theatre
fan, an enchanted audience member, a student or a dedicated theatre
professional.
