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. These are their stories.
(There's also a follow-up to this play called Law & Order: Fairy Tale Unit - Episode 2 -- either play can be performed independently of the other.)
