Bedtime Stories(1974)

Bedtime Stories is an anthology series that reimagines six beloved fairy tales with a contemporary edge and unsettling conclusions. Each episode takes a familiar story and strips away its comfort, replacing happy endings with darker, more complex resolutions. The series blends the recognizable frameworks of classic narratives with modern settings and sensibilities, creating a tension between what audiences expect and what actually unfolds. Rather than offering reassurance, Bedtime Stories explores the shadows lurking beneath these timeless tales, asking what happens when tradition meets reality. The result is a collection of plays that subvert the genre entirely, delivering stories that linger long after the credits roll.
