Katie Clarke • Jay Pension • Nate Punches
Producer and playwright Jay Pension and librettist Nate Punches teamed with lyricist Katie Clarke and songwriter George Luton to create a series of musical fairy tales, each of which turns its source content on its head as it delves deep into the human heart, questioning the truths of love, vengeance, good, and evil that have fascinated storytellers for generations.
“They’ve done a deep dive into the emotional life of each of these characters and examined their motivations, their relationships with each other and themselves, and how they change positions over time...You can never quite settle in.
