| Description |
An hour-long pantomime, the first show Broadhead had made especially for children. Performed by a cast of 26, including fewer first-timers than usual. Based on an 18th century fairy tale of a yellow dwarf who manages to get a promise of marriage from a princess, and how a king manages to save her. 'So it's about being courageous and determined: both the goodies have to go through trials before they marry.' Based on Auckland Star interview. |
