Diamonds And Toads: An Adaptation Of Charles Perrault’S Les Fées, Jessi Pitts
Diamonds And Toads: An Adaptation Of Charles Perrault’S Les Fées, Jessi Pitts
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
An American Southwest full length adaptation of Charles Perrault’s Les Fées for the stage. The lives of Fanny, Rose, and their mother are changed when Rose is given a blessing by a fairy: whenever she speaks, diamonds fall from her lips. But the softness of a throat stands no choice against the sharp edges of a diamond. Diamonds and Toads explores a dysfunctional family, what it means to be a good person, and the obsession a child has to gain the approval of their parents.
