What if everything you thought you knew about Oz was a lie?
In this dark and twisted adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, the familiar tale is turned on its head. Dorothy Gale, once seen as the innocent farm girl swept away by a tornado, is reimagined as a cunning and ambitious outsider whose arrival in Oz sets off a chain of manipulation and destruction. Her ruby slippers aren't just magical-they're a symbol of power she'll do anything to keep.
But what if the so-called Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, was never wicked at all? What if she was the true protector of Oz, fighting to preserve balance and justice in a land corrupted by illusion and deceit? In this version, Elphaba is a misunderstood hero, demonized by propaganda and betrayed by those she once trusted.
And Glinda the Good? Perhaps she's not so good after all. Behind her shimmering smile lies a master manipulator who orchestrates events from the shadows, using Dorothy as a pawn to eliminate her only rival-Elphaba.
This adaptation explores themes of power, perception, and the danger of a single narrative. It asks: Who gets to write history? And what if the real villain is the one wearing the crown?
