Handsome & Gretel being presented at:
At Roxbury Village School

No Strings Marionette Company serves up a scrumptious rendition of the fairy tale classic. A poor woodcutter and his family live at the edge of a deep forest. Sister Gretel works hard to help the family while brother Handsome believes he can breeze through life on his looks alone. Eventually lost in the forest, the children are sweetly lured to the candy cottage of a witch who has very poor eyesight. She is blind to Handsome’s charms and places Gretel’s life in mortal danger. A cast of fifteen hand-crafted whimsical marionettes leads this journey of never ending action, where the unexpected frolics in the familiar from the opening scene right on through to the last beat of music. Originally told to criticize those who would abandon children during times of hardship, this marionette version sparkles with the notion of children learning to speak for themselves in their own voice.
Will Handsome discover his true potential in time to rescue his sister? Find out as you savor the tale of Handsome and Gretel.
