"What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." At their mother's memorial service, estranged brothers Brian and Dennis Cox remember the tales she told them as children...and as adults.Some were fables of homespun wisdom, some were her versions of the grimmest fairy tales. Did they help the brothers on their life paths, or did they make the forest darker and the way less clear? Were her stories just for funor a kind of smokescreen, an enchanted mist that enticed them to strange parts, then left them without Google maps? As the brothers try to work out their differences, they bring to life the dark and twisted tales of their childhood through music and storytelling, aided by the mysterious Puppet Master.
