Notes:

Original Playwright - Per Lysander and Suzanne Osten. Part of the Swedish Embassy's Small Feet Go Far Festival. Translator: Ann-Charlotte Hanes Harvey

Synopsis:

A deeply moving, often funny, exploration of children torn by their parents' divorce. It's an easy description to say that Medea's Children is the classical legend seen through the children's eyes. But there is no expectation of familiarity with the original; it stands on its own, as a journey into the real world of children, how they think, and what they talk about late at night.

Notes:

Original Playwright - Per Lysander, Suzanne Osten ; translated from the Swedish (Prins Sorgfri) by Anne-Charlotte Hanes Harvey

Synopsis:

Because of a decree from the King, his son - Prince Free Of Sorrows - grows up without knowing disappointment, defeat, sadness, and death. Everyone in the castle has strict orders to let the Prince win at all games, never cry in his presence, and never mention the world beyond the castle walls. When the King dies, the Prince is simply told that his father has "gone on a long journey." The Prince is now the ruler. Against the advice of the horrified courtiers, he decides to venture out and see the world outside. On his long adventure - filled journey he witnesses tears, misery, and death. But he has not yet felt sadness himself, nor shed any tears. It is not until he meets the Fishergirl that he starts to understand. She has lost everything she loves in a storm caused by the heartless Queen of the Lake. The Prince sees her throw herself into the waves and her body washes up on shore, lifeless. To bring her back to life, the Prince has to undertake the difficult journey down to the underwater castle of the Queen of the Lake to retrieve the girl's heart. He manages to find the heart, and brings the girl back to life. But when he says that they are going to "live happily ever after" in his castle, she refuses. "If you want me, you must be free!" He overcomes his fear of freedom, tears down the walls of the castle, takes her hand, and walks over the walls out into the real world.
