Description
Sky pirates, undersea creatures, robots, a talking crow, and one HUGE ogre come to life in this lively and colourful modern age fairytale. Jack, Mary, and Arthur are three siblings who live on an island in the middle of the ocean. In the best tradition of age old tales, the three have to set forth on a series of adventures to magical places. Along the way they meet the star of the show—The Ogre and his Purse—as they discover: what’s in the purse? Why does the Ogre have a purse? Did someone steal it?
Four actors play oodles of astonishing and entertaining characters through puppets, costumes, props, and more. The action filled play uses story-telling to teach tolerance, acceptance, and generosity.
