A Grimm Brothers Fairytale
Rumpelstiltskin was first collected by the Brothers Grimm in the 1812 edition of "Children's and Household Tales". Since then, readers have been delighted by the antics of the dwarf with the funny name! In the story, the town miller lies to the King and says that his daughter can spin straw into gold. When the miller's daughter is held in the castle turret until she makes good on her father's promise, the little dwarf appears and magically spins the straw into gold, saving the miller's daughter from being executed. However, the price exacted by the little dwarf is steep: in exchange, the miller's daughter must hand over her first-born child to the dwarf.
DuffleBag Theatre returns for another fun-filled and hilarious season of interactive storytelling theatre! Since 1992, the “Nearly World Famous” DuffleBag Theatre has become one of the most celebrated companies at festivals and schools across the country. The DuffleBag actors begin the retelling of original adaptations of select fairy tales and Shakespearean classics full of wit and humor. Just when the audience becomes enthralled by the story - a twist is created! Before your very eyes, students (and maybe even a teacher) are asked to come up on stage and join in the action. This unpredictable performance is a hilarious experience for all ages and a truly unique interactive theatrical experience where the dream of living a fairy tale actually does come true!
