The Hans Christian Andersen Storybook

Here, between the illustrated pages of a voluminous book, Hans Christian Andersen converses with his beloved misfits — The Ugly Duckling, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Snow Queen and Thumbelina. The pages turn, they look to their creator and stories of timeless appeal unfold. Assuming the identity of Andersen, award-winning artist David Simpich, elegantly costumed in 19th century dress, brilliantly delves into the imaginative relationship between author and character with flawless marionette manipulation and charming voices. More than simply a retelling of the individual tales, this enchanting production celebrates the style, vision and genius of one of the greatest storytellers of all time. You might just live happily ever after.
