An intimate tea ceremony and a mystery revolving around the deconstruction of the horrifying events of two children left alone in the forest.
JoWonder while at the bottom of a tea cup can manifests the inner private lives of selected members of the audience.

Freudian images are used that can be seen as phallic or otherwise such as a tie and gloves and the dark sexuality that is contained within most fairy tales is explored.

The white gloves represent Hansel and Gretel... she uses objects and turns them into something else. A tiny two dimensional puppet walked over the tables where the audience sat and they were captivated. Jo says that she has 'always wanted to fuse high art with so called 'low art' and create comedy because she thinks humour is a gateway to our higher understanding of things.

I saw this live it is a pity that the narrative isn't shown here as I was gripped to find out what was going to happen next but I guess they want to keep it secret.
