Better (2013)
Better is a short play originally commissioned by First Floor Theater for GrimmFest, a literary festival of short plays inspired by the works of the Brothers Grimm. An adaptation of Rumplestiltskin, the play was produced as a part of GrimmFest at the Charnel House in Chicago in 2013. The play was directed by Kellen Stanley, and featured Amanda Fink and Fred Schmidt-Arenales. It was commended as “clever with a surprisingly poignant ending” by Chicago Now.
The festival was curated by Will Bishop, Andrew Cutler, and Hutch Pimentel, and included scenic/projection design by Claire Stone, illustration by Briana Finegan, and sound design by Bobby Huggins. You can learn more about the festival here.
