The things that go on, unfold, happen, don’t happen, and/or are concocted on any given day in any household between any parents and any children are a lot funnier, a lot crazier, a lot more surprising, and (sometimes) a lot more bizarre than anything that ever happened—once upon a time—to Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots or Cinderella. Any parent can tell you that—and so can any child! As Suzanne Lebeau writes, "Being an adult and having children, being a child and having adults means finding out about love and pain, tenderness and anger, compromise . . ." Welcome to the real world of real children.

The original 1993 production of Contes d’enfants réels received awards for Outstanding Production for Young Audiences from the Quebec Theatre Critics’ Association and the Académie québécoise du théâtre.
