With the premiere of two new film versions of the Snow White tale, Blackstone enters the fray with its own adult, edgy, and not altogether serious full-cast exposé of fairy-taledom. At last it can be told! Was Snow White really as pure as the driven snow? Did her allegedly wicked stepmother get a bum rap from the Grimm brothers? What went on behind the closed Dutch doors of the dwarves’ cottage? How many handsome princes does it take to screw in a light bulb? These and other burning questions may or may not be answered in this new pseudogothic audio play that Blackstone commissioned from award-winning author and audio dramatist Yuri Rasovsky.

Yuri Rasovsky (1944–2012) was the leading writer, producer, and director of audio drama in the United States. Also a distinguished actor, narrator, and critic, his numerous honors include two Peabody Awards, eight Audie Awards, and a Grammy.

Sandra Oh is a two-time Genie Award-winner, Golden Globe Award-winner, and three-time Emmy Award-nominated Canadian actress. She is known to American audiences for her Emmy nominated role in ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, her roles in the films Under the Tuscan Sun and Sideways, and her supporting role on HBO’s Arli$$.

Kate Burton has made numerous stage, film, and television appearances, and was seen on Broadway most recently in Hedda Gabler and The Beauty Queen of Leenane. She played the title role in Alice in Wonderland with her father, Richard Burton, on PBS.

Laura Sims is the author of the novel Looker and four books of poetry and is the editor of Fare Forward: Letters from David Markson.

Robin Sachs was born and raised in London, England, and studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). After RADA, Robin spent time performing everything from Shakespeare to Tom Stoppard and touring various parts of the known world. His British TV appearances include Brideshead Revisited, Upstairs Downstairs, and Rumpole of the Bailey. He is probably best known in America for his role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as being in several films.

Armin Shimerman is familiar to science fiction fans as Quark on Star Trek: DS-9 and as Principal Snyder on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. An acclaimed stage actor, he has also cowritten four science fiction novels.

Ned Schmidtke has played leading roles on Broadway, on national tours, and at dozens of regional theaters in the United States and Canada. He currently resides in Los Angeles, where he continues to work in theater, film, and television.

Keith Szarabajka has appeared in many films, including The Dark Knight, Missing, and A Perfect World, and on such television shows as The Equalizer, Angel, Cold Case, Golden Years, and Profit. Szarabajka has also appeared in several episodes of Selected Shorts for National Public Radio. He won the 2001 Audie Award for Unabridged Fiction for his reading of Tom Robbins’s Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates and has won several Earphones Awards.

Phil Proctor is an original member of the three-time Grammy-nominated Firesign Theatre. He has performed on stage, television, through interactive games, and in film, including the Emmy Award–winning Rugrats, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., and the Dr. Doolittle films. He is part of Los Angeles’ celebrated Antaeus Classical Ensemble.

Reviews

“Rarely is their so much fun packed into just two CDs of an audiobook! Written, produced and directed by the late Yuri Rasovsky (1944–2012), Die, Snow White! Die, Damn You!: A Very Grimm Tale is an original and hilarious reworking of the Snow White story with bits of other fairytales embedded here and there. Featuring an outstanding cast of performers…[it] is a rollicking great satire that is unrelentingly funny from beginning to end. You’ll never think of Snow White the same way again! Enhanced with superb production values, Die, Snow White! Die, Damn You! is a highly recommended ‘theatre of the mind’ experience and will prove to be an enduringly popular addition to personal and community library audiobook collections!”

“An amusing, sometimes hilarious, retelling of the old story. As odd as it sounds, much of it is very close to the German original. The cast is amazing...The production is punctuated by perky music and sound effects. Rasovsky adds characters from a dozen other well-known Grimm fairy tales to make a mega-fairy tale.”
