Join us as we discuss Rachel Hochhauser’s Lady Tremaine, a breathtaking reimagining of Cinderella, as told through the eyes of its iconic “evil” stepmother, revealing a propulsive love story about the lengths a mother will go to for her children. When twice-widowed Lady Tremaine discovers a sordid secret hidden in the depths of the royal family, she must choose between the security she craves and the wellbeing of the stepdaughter who has rebuffed her at every turn.
