Snow White and Rose Red                                                     The Brothers Grimm fairy tale of Snow White and Rose Red is the launching point for this adult-only version of the classic fairy tale about two lovely sisters who rescue a black bear, providing a warm hearth during a bitterly cold winter. Once the last of the snows have melted, Black Bear leaves the cottage, warning the girls to avoid the dwarves, for they are dangerous creatures who rob and steal. One day the sisters come across a creature whose long beard has become trapped in a fissure in a log. When they draw closer, they realize that it is a dwarf. Snow White uses a pair of scissors to cut the beard, saving the dwarf's life. Instead of being grateful, he berates the sisters, then grabs up a clunky bag of stones and runs away.

Snow White is trying to get Hans Christian Anderson to marry her, but his father has some peculiar idea that Snow White is of inferior birth and therefore beneath his son. Besides, weren't the girls busy servicing a bear during the cold winter months?

Rose Red is having her own suitor troubles. She has fallen in love with a young solider named Tarquin, but before Tarquin can ask her to marry him, he is called away to war.

Snow White is finally married off to a man of noble birth, but Paul Robeson has his own dark secrets. He has buried all three of his past wives and Snow White, who is about to become wife number four, wonders if Paul is a reincarnation of Bluebeard.

Look for Snow White and Rose Red in 2008!
