LA PLATA, Md. (January 27, 2012)—The College of Southern Maryland Children’s Theatre Company's production of “Law & Order: Fairly Tale Unit,” opens tonight in La Plata. The play was written by Jonathan Rand and produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.
In the fairy tale criminal justice system, the characters from fairy tales and nursery rhymes are represented by two separate yet equally ridiculous groups: the fairy tale police who investigate fairy tale crime, and the fairy tale district attorneys who prosecute the fairy tale offenders.
