This show is performed without an intermission
and is 1:45 in length. Along with Shakespeare in the Park, it is
one of the two family-friendly productions in this year’s KCPT
season. With its fascinating visual theatrics, it is a
sophisticated offering for kids aged eight and up who are
accustomed to live theater performances.

Amazing performance!
More a ballet with poetic dialog than a conventional play, it is
a feast for the eye and the ear. In addition, there is much food
for thought and music for the heart. The superb cast,
imaginative direction, wonderful costumes and surreal stage set
are beautifully held together by the music of Laurence Cole's
one-man-band. Although there were probably some profound truths
that went by me (as they frequently do) this is not a
“difficult” piece. It would, however, be difficult to explain
the “meaning” of it. But this is an irrelevant question – it's
like asking what the “meaning” is of a Mozart symphony. I
applaud the decision not to have an intermission, although an
hour and forty-five minutes was just a bit of a stretch. Thanks
to all concerned for this remarkable theatrical experience.
