Tiny Thumbelina

by Vera Morris and Bill Francoeur

Tiny Thumbelina had 4 performances about 17 years ago (between the 15th of February 2007 and the 17th of February 2007)

This wonderfully colourful production takes us into Thumbelina's small and perilous world. An unpleasant family of toads and a water rat named Walter are all determined to capture her. Plus, a muddled old mole thinks our tiny heroine would make a fine wife for himself in his dismal, underground dwelling. If only Thumbelina could find Prince and Princess, the children who promised to take her to the Land of the Little People! This captivating play is amazingly simple to produce, taking advantage of scene breaks to ensure that the World of Small never appears on stage at the same time as the standard-sized world. Thumbelina might be small, but her role gives an actress a big chance to showcase both her acting and singing talents. The play is spiced with other wonderful roles-the devious Cat who sells Thumbelina to the toads; kindly Old Mother Fieldmouse; Swallow, the flighty bird; Suzi, a spider who can spin a wedding dress; and many more.
