In her red high tops and basing her story on fairytales, with happy endings, it is a joy to watch Eli Sibley's show from beginning to end. Her story is complicated and weaves us through a labyrinth, as fairytales do, that has as many pitfalls as moments of ecstasy, along the way. Her continual rescue and subsequent disappointment cycle is compelling; but the look on her face at the end of her pantomime of a woman giving birth, and then having her baby taken from her and given away by her scheming husband, will break your heart. She does not stop where most fairytales end with 'happily ever after,' but shows us how life often goes awry and out of control. And no matter what happens if you just keep trying you'll eventually find what you want, however, when you do will you still want it, or can you hold on to it? Through the entire journey,, our storyteller is well connected with her audience, she keeps us engaged and following her every move, though painful at times, we are glad to join her.
