Fairy Tales From Grimm / by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm with introduction from L. Frank Baum
The Fairy Tales from Grimm is a collection of children's stories written by the Grimm brothers, many of which have been popularized by Disney. This miniature book includes several stories such as the tale of Snow White.
Although the stories were originally published in the 1800s, this copy was produced in 1905. What makes it fantastic is the illustrations in both color and black and white. These drawings beautifully help bring the stories to life.

Return to Oz (1985). Dorothy, saved from a psychiatric experiment by a mysterious girl, is somehow called back to Oz when a vain witch and the Nome King destroy everything that makes the magical land beautiful.
HOW has this film escaped the legacy of children's horror masterpieces like The Dark Crystal and The Witches? I had pretty low expectations going in, but it really leans into the horror of its setting and lets Dorothy grow and regress in equal measure. Plus the stop motion and puppetry and practical effects are pretty awesome. Yeah, it's flawed, but man, I think I would've been obsessed with this if I'd watched it when I was 9. 7.5/10.

My favorite facts so far about the 1902/3 play is that Dorothys love interest Poet Laureate of Oz Dashemoff Daily Is played by a woman. It is so queer! I love the princely lesbian, or trans masculine vibes that this gives off. The song, and a link to the Hungry tiger press page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymAe9eF6UGk http://www.hungrytigerpress.com/tigertunes/allthetime.shtml The Song was eventually switched out with another "Love is Love"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also There is Carrie Barry. Another love by song from Prince Dashemoff, Towards Dorothy. But due to the story, Dorothy sings it to the Prince. And Sapphic story telling ensues. The implication that Dorthy can love them like any other man comes off as EXTREMELY queer. Oddly the hungry tiger lyrics dont seem to match the actual song recorded here? http://www.hungrytigerpress.com/tigertunes/carriebarry.shtml http://www.hungrytigerpress.com/tigertunes/carriebarry.mp3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Other Queer thing I noticed was the song Hurrah for Baffin bay, sung by stone and Montgomery. It's about tin man and scarecrow Portraying sailors in Baffin Bay, located between Baffin Island and the west coast of Greenland. This is the best audio recording of the song I'm aware of. https://youtu.be/EOXZ5fnDkz0 http://www.hungrytigerpress.com/tigertunes/baffinsbay.shtml It's a fun sea shanty. The 4th verse sadly has a dated slur for inuits :( but Overall the song is very fun and reminds me of Popeye. But as this was early oz before J.R.Neil the relationship was still forming for Tincrow. I'm very ignorant to theatre so I'm sure theres a lot I don't understand though. I just wanted to share

Come Hit the Bricks! You can listen to the entire first act on Nebula or your favorite podcatcher.
Hit the Bricks is a musical audio drama in the style of old radio plays. 100 years after L. Frank Baum's Oz books, a modern girl named Jessi and her cousin Wallace find themselves spirited to Oz after discovering an abandoned farm that once belonged to Dorothy Gale's family. Oz is still a world of magic and wonder, but a little worse for wear. As the ever-encroaching mistakes of the past make the present unlivable, it's up to Jessi and a new generation of heroes to push Oz into the future. Hit the Bricks stars Michelle Agresti (Arden, Wolf358), Keilidh Hamilton-Maureira (WFMU), Jordan Higgs (Tides, Greater Boston) and features performances from beloved audio artists like Lauren Shippen (The Bright Sessions, In Strange Woods), Morgan Givens (Flyest Fables), Jordan Cobb (Janus Descending, Primordial Deep), Briggon Snow (The Bright Sessions, CARAVAN), Christopher Dole (Arden), and many more.
Hit the Bricks also features music by various artists, both new to the scene and established, like Kathryn Hoss, Jeff Ball (Steven Universe, The White Lotus), A.p. Harbor, and David Russell (Project Destati, Kingdom Hearts VR)

Hit the Bricks' art is done by Chandler Candela, it's executive produced and sound designed by Ester Ellis (Station Blue, Dungeons and Daddies) and is written and directed by PJ Scott-Blankenship.
Hit the Brick's new special episode Intermission: I'm Still Here will be hitting public feeds on December 27th and you can listen to it early on Nebula.

I want an Oz adaptation in the vein of Lovecraft Country, challenging the rabid racism of an author whose work has shaped the face of American pop culture. Because L. Frank Baum, HOO BOY.
Okay there's The Wiz, but my impression (admittedly secondhand; I really want to see that play, but correct me if I'm wrong) is that challenging the racism of the story's original creator isn't the focus the way it is in Lovecraft Country. I want Native Dorothy (going by her home state of Kansas, she'd presumably be from one of the Plains cultures that Baum wanted dead) and transfem Black Ozma as an official couple. I would write this, but I already have so many ideas and honestly I should probably leave it to someone who's Indigenous or Black themselves.
