INCANTATION

 "Incantation" tells the story of the Frog Prince fairy tale from three different points of view - that of the witch, the princess and the frog. This comedic tale begins with the version familiar to us all, and features an overly kind Princess, a vain Prince and the ever-present evil witch. The second version, told by the frog, zig zags in a totally new direction, as the poor Prince is turned into a frog (through absolutely no fault of his own) and then plagued by a horrid Princess who actually wants to kiss him. The third, and final version, lights up the stage as a beautiful woman with magical abilities turns the Prince into a frog in an effort to help him learn a lesson in love. Ultimately, the Prince learns that, a kiss given freely and with love is to be his only salvation, but it wasn't the kiss he received, it was the kiss he had given.
