Caged

Synopsis:
Beauty and the Beast will never get on. He licks his hands, stands on the toilet and runs through the woods. She carries a hankie, never gets mud on her shoes and always remembers to send a thank you note. So how come, when she sees him run like that, when he brings down a deer, when they sit at night just watching the stars, how come her heart starts to spin? Beauty and the Beast will never get on. Will they? Caged is a story about two people trapped together, and finding more freedom than they ever imagined. Caged is recommended for all beauties and beasts aged 8 and over.
