Ep. 8: Cinderella Wrap Up & Intro to Sleeping Beauty

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

We're fleeing from the ball and heading into a tower wrapped in thorns! In the first-ever monthly Sunday Bonus Episode, Drew and Cassie conclude Cinderella Month with final thoughts and observations, and Drew confesses his first and only missed stage entrance which just so happened to be in a play that brought together multiple versions of Cinderella from across different cultures. Before we leave Cinderella behind, we each talk about versions of Cinderella that we have written ourselves! Then, we launch Sleeping Beauty Month by tracking its history through the Italian, French, and German reincarnations of the story, including discussion of some of the more sinister elements this tale has included over the years. Plus, learn which adaptations of Sleeping Beauty we will be reading and watching this month and what criteria we will be using to analyze them!
