Beatrix Potter for Grown-Ups at Annex Theatre
If you're looking for a cute and pleasant retelling of a familiar children's story, you won't find it in The Tale of Jemima Canard, which is running now at Annex. The play, an adaptation of Beatrix Potter's popular The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, renders a beloved roster of anthropomorphised critters as grisly shadows of Potter's conceptions. Playwright Brandon J. Simmons injects into the story a considerable helping of sexual content (including an attempted rape), plenty of fisticuffs, and more than a little psychological unhinging, turning a light and accessible narrative on its ear.

(1404 18th Ave. Fri. & Sat., 8 p.m. Tix $15.)
A Whimsical Take On Dead Fishermen @ Annex Theatre
Playwright Brendan Healy uses a healthy dose of whimsy and charm to tackle big themes of loss and love in his new play, , which debuted at Annex Theatre last weekend (Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m.; tix $15/$10). And that's a good way to go about it, because a more serious take on a girl with a shut-in, hypochondriac mother in permanent mourning for her dead husband would probably be tedious as hell.
