Cinderella
‘Always be good and always be kind. And I’ll always be there for you.’ Always. Always. Always. A promise of happiness given to a child by her mother, but one that goes unfulfilled. Instead, the child discovers a world that simply does not live up to her basic trust and sense of justice. And yet she refuses to let her spirit be broken and fights for her promise of happiness. Forever!
The Hare and the Hedgehog
The quintessential classic, the original Grimm tale. This is how the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm taught us to turn their fairy tales into reality through play: by means of two characters, a stage no bigger than a beer mat, and a great love of literal detail. The original text is as sacred as the Bible and to be taken as seriously as a Shakespearean epic. What is written there is to be regarded as strict stage directions, even – and especially – when the hare races the hedgehog for a full seventy-three laps. Who plays the hedgehog woman? And how, pray tell, does one credibly fall for the same cheap trick 73 times? Well, quite simply: with the help of the audience and with the greatest of pleasure – yes, they promise: Grimm-style on Fairy Tale Hill!
- Fairy tales for EVERYONE – suitable for ages 4 and over
