Evil Counterpart/Theatre

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Evil Counterparts in Theatre include:

  • In the stage musical version of Disney's Mary Poppins, the replacement nanny (when Mary leaves without notice) is quite the opposite of the magical nanny we know and love. Sure she sings, but she rules tyrannically over the children giving them the awful-tasting "Brimstone and Treacle" in place of "A Spoonful of Sugar". This cruel woman is definitely Mary Poppins' evil counterpart.
