Ep. 78: Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre: The Dancing Princesses (1987)

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

"I have no patience for hearts and flowers and young men who brag about this victory and that. There's more to life than romance."
We begin our month discussing The 12 Dancing Princesses by returning once again to Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre! This time we are looking at the series' final episode, season 6, episode 3, The Dancing Princesses, starring Lesley Ann Warren. Although the number of sisters is slimmed down to 6 instead of 12, once again Faerie Tale Theatre remains fairly faithful to the original story. We discuss the rhyming names, the soldier's moustache, Lesley Anne Warren's classic deadpan, our ideas for developing the story further, and more!
