Synopsis

Beauty never showed up. After centuries under the curse, the Beast and his remaining magical servant (a hopelessly optimistic lamp) move into a shabby Chicago apartment, hoping for a lower cost of living and better luck with girls. In the threatening, impossible, completely ordinary world of paying rent and taking public transportation, is a happy ending even possible? A romantic tragicomedy about facing the witch in your head, and finding the wish in your heart.

Reviews

“…An offbeat, mature riff on the classic ‘Beauty and the Beast’… Reina Hardy’s updating of the fairy tale is a charming and thought-provoking success.”
—DC Theatre Scene

“Hardy has a flair for off-key insights… funky, poetic… the romantic Glassheart certainly has music in its voice.”
—The Washington Post

“Reina Hardy’s eerie, melancholy Glassheart sets itself apart…more than just a love story… seductive and dangerous.”
—The Washingtonian
