Holiday Special Episode: Specter

Hope has spent many years wandering the halls of The Library of Souls, indulging in her unfortunate habit of altering the books to make them “safer,” freezing the characters before the tale can begin. But when Hope gets sucked into a long-forgotten story, she discovers the unintended consequences of her edits. Join us in our first holiday tale as we explore self-trust, real empathy, and facing the things that haunt us.  Tales We Twisted: Donkeyskin (France, 1695), Little Red Riding Hood (France, 1697), The Little Mermaid (Denmark, 1837), The Little Matchstick Girl (Denmark, 1837), Mother Goose Tales (France, 1697), and A Christmas Carol (England, 1843). Vocal Performance by Maria Corcobado  Script by Madelyn Dorta and Madeleine Regina  Directed by Madeleine Regina. Sound Design by Wray Van Winkle Feminist Fairytales is produced by Madeleine Regina, Wray Van Winkle, Jennie Grenelle, Madelyn Dorta, and Emma Love.  Theme music composed and produced by Juliana Marin.
