Listen to The Witch
A person who is dangerous and aggressive but chooses to temper her aggression is a moral person
I’d never seen Into The Woods live, so I took a chance and went up to Torrey Pines to see Steven Sondheim’s fractured fairytale. The production was impressive but more importantly, the emotional content of ...
