Stephen Sondheim’s "Into The Woods" at St Mary’s Church

VISION Theatre Company, Pembrokeshire’s newest performing arts hub, is bringing the critically acclaimed Into the Woods – music and lyrics by the great Stephen Sondheim – to St Mary’s Church, in Haverfordwest next week.

Vision is producing the musical in concert format – as a tribute to the much-missed great of musical theatre – who died last year.

James Lapine, who wrote the original book, and Stephen Sondheim take everyone’s favourite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece… a rare modern classic.

The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.

The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse.

Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
