Synopsis
This original tale uses motifs from traditional Russian stories and songs to explore a young girl's struggle to find her place in the world. Humans, animals and nightmares enrich the telling, which features fun roles for the actors and lively action. Maryushka spends three days enduring challenges that carry her from her village to the forest and Baba Yaga, the ancient sorceress. The challenges she faces are a great test of wits and will. Selected for the Kennedy Center's New Visionsew Voices and hailed by The Boston Globe as theatre that "has everything a child could want … scary (but not too scary), funny (but not too cute). Here are awesome songs and real ideas for kids to wrap their minds around. We hope it will be produced often and everywhere."
