Description:
Story Theatre consists of five fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, each told with a lean, stripped-down production style with no sets or fabulous costumes; all the trappings are created by the actors with their bodies and voices. The stories range from well-known favorites like "The Bremen Town Musicians" and "The Golden Goose" to more obscure but excellent tales like "The Blue Light," in which a soldier cast aside by his king gets his revenge with a little magic help. The no-frills storytelling creates some evocative effects; kids raised on computer-generated images could probably use the imaginative exercise these productions provide. In addition, Story Theatre includes intriguing discussions with the actors about the process of creating the pieces and the business of theater at large. --Bret Fetzer
