The Nightmare Story
The Nightmare Story by PigPen Theatre Company. Heres a bedtime story that might just give you nightmares. A modern twist on classic fairy tales that draw out the darkness in these age-old stories. Its not like a haunted house were not trying to scare the audience but it is dark, said PigPen member Arya Shahi, Were dealing with death and ghosts and what a nightmare is, and why it scares us. The play is based on Ukrainian folk stories so you can expect the usual big bad wolves and terrified kids. PigPens rendition follows a small boy who sets out on a journey to find a cure for his coma-stricken mother, who suffers from chronic nightmares. But on his journey, his moms nightmares come alive to haunt him. The nightmares that have trapped his mom in her mind have come out into the real world and are torturing him, said Shahi. The subject matter is certainly sinister, but Shahi said its still safe for the kiddies. We wrote these plays for people our own age, but we realized it works really well with kids, he said. Maybe not 5-year-olds, but definitely 8.
