Shoeless Cinderella and the Paparazzi A contemporary, tongue-in-cheek fairy tale about a princess who prefers Botox and social media to having a fairy godmother. Modern mishaps abound; will the princess find happiness and succeed in finding her handsome prince, without the help of age-old wisdom and magic? Or perhaps find something quite unexpected. Creating this story was inspired by the work of Doctor Bruno Bettelheim, whose research into fairy tales lead him to firmly believe in the power of stories to help and to heal. |
