Spark Catchers
Synopsis:
These classic stories from five different cultures share a common theme: the struggles of a small or young protagonist against mighty opposing forces. In "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Vinegar Bottle," "The Little Man No Bigger Than Your Thumb with Mustaches Seven miles Long," "The Twelve Months," and "Mollie Whuppie," you will meet some of the most ill-tempered, ill-mannered villains in world folklore, whose shenanigans will be vanquished in the most inventive ways by the underdog opponent. Then sooth your soul with a re-telling of the Greco-Roman myth of "Psyche and Eros" from Apulius's Golden Ass. Original musical settings by composer Sara Buchanan MacLean heighten the intensity and drama of these stories for all ages.
