When the clock strikes midnight in the fairy tale of Cinderella, could the prince have offered to drop her home instead of leaving everything to chance? Or, why did Snow White have to accept an apple offered by a stranger?

These are concerns that may not strike one when reading much-loved classics to a child, but scratch the surface and there is much to question in their basic premise. Fixing Foolish Fairy Tales, a series of summer theatre workshops for children "who dare to disagree" aims to make these stories more relevant and realistic, and set them free from their regressive mould if need be.
