Big Bad, written by Katherine Gwynn, puts a modern spin on an old story. A nod to the traditional fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, Ruby (played by Nell O’Brien ‘26) must come to terms with the brutal murders of her mother and grandmother (Meemaw, played by Morgan his Maynard ‘29). Ruby is forced to face her fears and the wolf (Bad, played by Abigail Reeves ‘27), while struggling to reconnect with her father (Daddy, played by Tommy Ives ‘29).
This show investigates the influence society has on deciding what makes someone “bad”. Throughout the show, Ruby confronts evil and searches for answers among buried secrets. This play demonstrates that what seems wrong may be right, and what seems right could be wrong. It’s up to us to investigate and find the answer.
