MYTH-APPROPRIATION:
The Brothers Grimm

Six timeless tales.
Six new plays.
All created in just six days.

September 8, 2007 

Culling from the dark landscapes of the Brothers Grimm, this event was Rorschach Theatre’s first “MYTH-Appropriation” – a process that begins when six playwrights choose at random six related stories and then have one night to adapt them into short plays.  The directors, designers and casts then spend the rest of the week developing the plays, rehearsing them and designing them, culminating in an exciting one-night event. Subsequent MYTH-appropriation events tackled everything from St Nicholas stories to Urban Legends.
