A Fairy Tale, Not-So-Grim

August 18, 2015

(Hey, there! If you’re interested in fun stuff that’s sort-of science, but not always science, then you might enjoy my latest nonsense over at Secondhand SCIENCE, which is all about noble gases. Somehow, I didn’t make any fart jokes. Not even one! Who knew?

And if actual much-more-real science is your bag, then check out the “Daily Discoveries” over at Sciencescape. All the posts are fascinating, thought-provoking and chock full of the latest in cutting-edge research. And some of them are even mine!)

Recently, I had the great pleasure of being a small part of a short play festival here in the Boston area. The Theatre@First crew staged a set of works with the theme “Fractured Fairy Tales”, and were kind enough to include a bit of silliness that Jenn Dlugos and I wrote concerning a certain pair of Bavarian children lost in the Black Forest.

Or, we decided, in the Boston Common. Because “write what you know”, liebchen, ja?

I got to watch the show a couple of times during their run, and they’re all fantastic. And while the live production is over, there’s a YouTube playlist with many of the plays available for your personal viewing pleasure. That includes our Hansel and Gretel entry, which is also uber-conveniently located just below. Gutentag!
