What do you get when you take classic fairy tales and turn them on their head? According to The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, the Ugly Duckling grows up to be A Really Ugly Duck, Cinderella snubs Rumpelstiltskin, and the Princess kisses a frog only to end up with a mouthful of slime. Arden Theatre Company presents this show for all ages, based on the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, adapted by John Glore, and directed by Whit MacLaughlin.
