Big Bad provides actors and audiences of any age with a smart and wickedly funny play that lets the audience determine the outcome of the play!  The most notorious criminal in the fairy-tale world, Big Bad Wolf, is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by the countless quirky characters he has wronged.  Now, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest — the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother — will clash (on live Court TV, no less, with Sydney Grimm as commentator!)  in a trial that will be remembered forever after.  As Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf testify, the wolf seems deserving of all that’s coming.  But, even though the disreputable Evil Stepmother couldn’t be less interested in pro-bono work on such an obviously futile defense, Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself.  Was he born a criminal, or made one?  Perhaps he does deserve compassion instead of condemnation?  What will the verdict be?  Only the jury — your audience — can decide, when the doddering old Judge invites them to determine the outcome of the trial...  and the play!  With minimal set and costume requirements and a good balance of stage time for each character, you’ll love the multiple endings that make every performance unique!

Winner of the Shubert Fendrich Memorial Playwriting Contest

Hear what directors and critics are saying:

Big Bad was a fun play to produce because of the fun our kids had in creating the set and becoming the characters! Jonathon Klingeman, Altoona Area Junior High School, Altoona, PA


Loved the humor of the script and the pacing.  There was no need to clean up the script for my students/audience.


The story was hysterical and the audience was really liking the very tiny wolf we cast in a zoot suit.  Such a well written script!


My favorite play I have directed was Big Bad.  It had a variety of characters with enough smaller parts for inexperienced actors.  The set was simple and costuming was a breeze!  The kids were familiar with the basic story and were able to engage the audience.  It was a huge hit! Erin Druckenmiller, Russell Elementary School, Rumney, NH
