About
A humble fisherman and his ambitious wife star in this take on the Brothers Grimm tale, played with puppets, original songs and constant back-and-forth with the kids in the audience. Face 2 Face Theatre Company performs it in English, pitched so young learners can follow along and join in. Under the laughs, the story is about greed, being poor and forgiveness.
