Description
After enthralling Berkeley Rep audiences with her stunning adaptations of Wu Ch'eng-en's Journey to the West, Ovid's Metamorphoses<'I> and Leonardo da Vinci's Notebooks, writer/director Mary Zimmerman returns to her Bay Area home with The Secret in the Wings.
A captivating voyage into our collective childhood subconscious, The Secret in the Wings weaves elements from "Beauty and the Beast" with four lesser-known stories into a dream-like exploration of the darker side of human impulses. Punctuating the tales' haunting truths with breathtaking visual moments and poignant snatches of song, Zimmerman's latest endeavor challenges the belief that fairy tales are only for children; The Secret in the Wings is her invitation for adults to immerse themselves in a rare and magical storybook experience.
Runs 90 minutes with no intermission.
