The Many Wives of Bluebeard

by Eric J. McAnallen

A Comedy in One Act
Cast - 7 (1 M, 1 F, 5 gender neutral)
Run-Time - 30 Minutes

In this sequel to The Princess and the Great Gold Dragon, the Fairy Tale players are back and this time they are going to tackle the French tale of Bluebeard in their own, unique way. But this time, Hero’s not content just heckling from the sidelines; the Stagehand has gotten in touch with his inner fashionista; the sound booth can’t seem to get things in order; and the Storyteller may have more on her hands than she can handle. You won’t want to look away from this train wreck of a play.
