(3) K-3 Fairy tales get the Lemony Snicket treatment in a mildly amusing stage production narrated by a Snidely Whiplash look-alike who grows increasingly frustrated as the kid actors make impromptu sunny changes to his "three tales of terror and misfortune." Grainy oil paintings of friendly looking characters keep the tone light, while purples and reds and the impression of dim lighting create a theatrical atmosphere.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
