Description

This fairytale is a completely wild English-pantomime-type extravaganza for the producer who is not intimidated by the impossible. There is even a loose King’s Head who operates an inn. Trudi, a pretty country girl who has left her overcrowded home, falls in with a minstrel. He invites her to join him in seeking entrance to a castle where they might sing for their supper. At the castle, they fall afoul of Baroness Von Grubelstein, whose magic book foretells that Trudi shall marry her son, Siegfried. The baroness plots to prevent this by disposing of Trudi, and when the minstrel undertakes to protect her, they are subject to a variety of dangers from which they narrowly escape. Sets: 11 sets that rotate, coming and going while you watch. Outrageous costumes and getups. Approximate running time: 1 hour, 50 minutes. Music in book.
