With the premiere of two new film versions of the Snow White tale, Blackstone enters the fray with its own adult, edgy, and not altogether serious full-cast exposé of fairy-taledom. At last it can be told! Was Snow White really as pure as the driven snow? Did her allegedly wicked stepmother get a bum rap from the Grimm brothers? What went on behind the closed Dutch doors of the dwarves' cottage? How many handsome princes does it take to screw in a light bulb? These and other burning questions may or may not be answered in this new pseudogothic audio play that Blackstone commissioned from award-winning author and audio dramatist Yuri Rasovsky.

This version of "Snow White" would give children insomnia and cause them to spend years in therapy. This creation of esteemed writer and producer Yuri Rasovsky and an outstanding theater ensemble, including Sandra Oh ("Grey's Anatomy"), Simon Helberg ("Big Bang Theory"), and a half-dozen other names from television and audiobook productions, is an amusing, sometimes hilarious, retelling of the old story. As odd as it sounds, much of it is very close to the German original. The cast is amazing. Snow is a spoiled Valley Girl; her father (literally) a blathering idiot. Both are oblivious to the stepmother's seething hatred. The production is punctuated by perky music and sound effects. Rasovsky adds characters from a dozen other well-known Grimm fairy tales to make a mega-fairy tale. M.S. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
