RAPUNZEL: A MUSICAL SHADOW PUPPET TALE

With Music by Stuart Grant & Lee Holt

2M/3F - Running Time: 30-45 Minutes

Like many stories of Germanic folklore from the Brothers Grimm, Rapunzel is a tale of happiness hard won. Rapunzel is held captive by a wicked old enchantress, brought up in loneliness, parted from her young prince, and must struggle to find her own place in the world before her troubles are overcome. The tale is valuable to children with the timeless message that faith and character will ultimately win out over hardship, and true love will find its happy ending. This hip adaptation of the classic story is told with shadow puppets, witty banter and finger-snappin' songs.

Productions:

~ World-Premiere with the Dramatic English Educational Repertory (DEER) Theatre, Hong Kong (October 2006)

FOR THE LOVE OF AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST

2M/3F - Running Time: 60 Minutes

A man named Alfred is driven to commit an extremely unpleasant act by his devoted love for Claudia, an anesthesiologist. This act leads, in turn, to a life outside the law and on the run. He now comes to the end of his life… Judgment Day. He must come to terms with his past lives and his past deeds, as he prepares to meet his Maker. He does this waiting at a tiki-inspired cocktail lounge somewhere on the edge of life and death. The embodiments of what he could have been and what he was converge.

Productions:

~ World-Premiere as part of the Sixth Annual Festival of Independent Theatres at the Bath House Cultural Center, Dallas TX. Presented by Audacity Productions (July & August 2004)
