Birth of a Beast

This is the first of two prequel episodes to Beauty and the Beast. Kidnapping. Lies. Lust. Tragedy. The original story of Beauty and the Beast is quite different than the story you know today. We go back to one of the oldest recorded versions of this classic fairy tale, starting with the violent, twisted events that lead up to a boy becoming a beast.
