Poor Jack. He's got to use his wits to save himself from the terrible Giant, but a host of familiar fairytale characters keep messing up his plans - and then there's that annoying Stinky Cheese Man! Based on the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith and adapted for the stage by William Massolia, The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales deconstructs the tradition of the fairy tale. Characters slide in and out of tales: Cinderella rebuffs Rumpelstiltskin and Goldilocks meets the Three Elephants. Nothing is quite the same as you remember it.
