Rewriting the Stepmother Narrative with A Transformative Play

from In the blend Hosted by Laura Jenkins

Hanna Pyliotis, a theatre maker and playwright, discusses her play that challenges the traditional portrayal of stepmothers in fairy tales. Inspired by her own experience as a stepmother, Hanna delves into the backstory and life of the stepmother character from Cinderella, exploring themes of love, motherhood, loss, and societal expectations. She aims to humanise stepmothers and create a more balanced and compassionate narrative around their role. Hanna is currently seeking funding to bring the play to life in Australia and France, with the hope of sparking dialogue and empathy among audiences, particularly those in blended families.
