Clever Girls: Kate Crackerberry (2019)
Adapted by Ruth Lawrence
Directed by Lois Brown
SYNOPSIS
Kate Crackerberry is based on a Scottish folktale about the love between two step-sisters, an enchanted sheep’s head and a prince under a fairy spell. Our heroine, Kate, uses wit and courage to rescue her sister and a prince from their enchantments so they can live happy again. But the fairy world is a dark and magical place that Kate must navigate first. Using puppetry, movement, music, and imagery, the four artists weave together a fun and magical touring show for school and family audiences. Following the show, kids are invited to look at puppets and meet the actors.
Kate Crackerberry explores fearlessness as the siblings grow to care for one another, discover the dangers of gossip, and learn the importance of loyalty, love, and understanding.
