Sky Pirates, Undersea Creatures, Robots, a talking Crow and one Huge Ogre come to life in this lively and colourful modern age fairytale: The Ogre’s Purse. 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. It is amazing how four actors bring oodles of astonishing and entertaining characters to life using puppets, costumes, incredible props and compelling set pieces.  This action filled play uses story-telling to teach tolerance, acceptance and generosity. Of course we can’t forget to mention the star of the show: The Ogre and his Purse. What’s in the purse? Why does the Ogre have a purse? Did someone steal the purse? Students will love the surprise ending. Parents and teachers will love the study guide that comes along with this interactive experience, as well as the connections to the curriculum and cultural parallels between the fairy tale and our wonderful Newfoundland and Labrador place. Much easier than getting them to eat broccoli but just as good for you!
