Story Theatre (1969)
Directed by Christopher Sarson
Overview
Fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm come to vivid life in this innovative production. Taking classic narrative stories — such as “The Golden Goose,” “The Clever Gretel,” “The Goose Girl,” and “The Bremen Town Musicians” — Paul Sills eliminated the customary use of elaborate sets and costumes and relied instead on the transforming talents of his gifted actors. Utilizing gestures, mime, music, and the actors’ own imaginations, he has created a fresh and unique theater piece to present these timeless tales.
