You know the story. The hero wins. The villain loses. Or… do they? For Bad flips a beloved fairytale on its head, telling the story from the side history forgot. When a triumphant hero learns the fate of their former enemy, we rewind the clock to uncover what really happened—good intentions gone wrong, a villain trying to do good, and a hero who may not deserve the crown. Because sometimes, “happily ever after” is just good PR. Come see the story told for bad. 18+
