Ms. Zimmerman adapted a group of lesser-known fairy tales to create a theatrical work that sets their dark mystery against her signature wit and humor. The framing story concerns a child and the frightening babysitter with whom her parents leave her. As the babysitter reads from a book, the characters in each of the tales materializes, with each tale breaking off just at its bleakest moment before giving way to the next one.
