DON B'S SNOW WHITE

April 1999

adapted from the landmark novel by donald barthelme

adapted & directed by lana lesley | created by rude mechs

don b.’s Snow White is not the grim fairy tale you know and loathe.

The dwarves -- Bill, Clem, Kevin, Hubert, Dan, Henry, and Edward -- wash the buildings, tend vats of chinese baby food and take turns in Snow White’s shower stall. You know what that means. But domestic bliss is threatened when Snow White wearies of her role as horsewife, Bill develops a reluctance to be touched, and Jane Villiers de l’Ilse-Adam and Hogo de Bergerac work acts of unspeakable vileness and malice upon the household. The President is concerned. Will Paul’s princely nature lead him to Snow White? Will anyone climb the hair that appears out of the window? Will the dwarves keep Bill as their leader?
