Fairy tale retellings are always popular. Fairy tales are some of the first stories we learn as children. As well as being entertaining, they are instructive. Don't stray from the path. Don't trust wolves, or men. Fill your pockets with stones, not breadcrumbs. If you're going to steal some herbs for your pregnant wife, be […] The post Unspinning Sleeping Beauty – with Georgia Leighton first appeared on Breaking the Glass Slipper.

When Cree-Salteaux theatre-maker Margo Kane started trying out for theatre gigs in Canada in the 1970s, there were so few roles for Indigenous actors, she ended up auditioning for the same part more than once. That all changed when she wrote her own one woman show, Moonlodge that became a classic of Canadian theatre. She's in Australia to show her new one-woman show, and reflect on her career.Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown was a big international hit for the Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar in the 1980s. Now it's a crazy, funny, kitschy musical coming to Sydney's Hayes Theatre. We talk about the impact of the film and how director and performer Alex Berlage and Grace Driscoll are bringing it to life in 2025.New play Thirst, by Barbara Hostalek, is set in a lonely run-down country pub called The Glass Slipper  somewhere in Western Australia. The place is on its last legs. But maybe the new owners can turn it around with a high stakes karaoke night! Actors Leah Pigram, Jarrad Inman and Maitland Schnaars from Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company perform a scene.For our series Back Stage, we meet international set designer Anna Cordingley, who hand draws her designs among many other talents.

It seems like these days you can't go into a bookshop without seeing a display of romantasy books.

We live our lives burdened with responsibilities, and expectations of how we should act. Those expectations are placed on us by society, by family, and even by ourselves. However, fiction allows us a space in which to examine what would happen if we stepped outside those expectations.

A few decades ago, if you said the word “Gothic haunted house novel,” the phrase would very definitely have brought to mind something with a rambling Victorian mansion, tortured heroines, mad women in the attic, sombre men, and wailing ghosts.

A short story isn't just a novel in miniature form. It isn't even a shortened novella. It is a creature of its own devising.

The literature of our past is littered with casual gender biases. You describe someone as a “witch” and the natural assumption is that they are female.

“In space, no one can hear you scream.” It's an iconic tagline that can be applied to so many modern stories about space travel and exploration (except, perhaps, our beloved Star Trek).

Modern fantasy owes much to J.R.R. Tolkien, including his problematic colonialist views and othering of cultures and races different from his medieval European-inspired setting.
