Into the Woods’embodies some of the most well-known’Grimm Fairytale’characters, including the Baker and the Baker’s wife, played by Owen Woityra and Alexis Sargent respectively, who must make a deal with the Witch (Kris Fitzgerald) to lift the curse that has left them childless. In order to appease the Witch, they must go on a scavenger hunt for four items: a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, a hair as yellow as corn and a slipper as pure as gold.
The couple encounters several other well-known characters once entering the woods, including Little Red Riding Hood (Laura Pavliscak), Jack (Mark Snider), Cinderella (Hannah Marshall) and Rapunzel (Lindsey Eveland), but securing the needed items proves to be far more difficult than ever imagined.?
