The Brothers Grimm Out Of Order
When brothers Jake and Will Grimm can’t agree on a script, they end up in a fight —
pages are swapped, plots intermingled... it’s a complete mess! After all, Jake likes
blood and guts, and Will likes fluffy bunnies and happy endings. What’s worse is that
the principal is coming to see a production of the show in less than half an hour!
The intermingled storyline now has Hansel and Jorinda on their way to meet the stage
mother and her two evil step daughters, Gretel and Joringel — who’s so happy to be
part of the “A” story, he’ll do it in drag! Meanwhile, Rapunzel, who’s been demoted
from ingénue to character actress, wants her son, Prince Charming (played by a wise-
guy with big-time family connections), to go to the Gingerbread Castle for a ball to
meet his true love, the evil witch Cinderella.
With name-calling, finger pointing and lots of “I quits,” the entire show collapses just as
the principal arrives. But all is not lost! The producer rallies the troops with an
incredible cheesy speech, and the cast dishes out the works of the Brothers Grimm in
six minutes and 12 seconds. And although they don’t truly succeed, they actually find
their own path to happily ever after.
