The Fisherman and His Wife
by Larry and Vivian Snipes
Remember the tale of the fisherman who catches an enchanted
fish and uses his wishes (and hers) to try to bring happiness
to his wife? This delightful new dramatic adaptation of
The Fisherman and his Wife taps into the magic of audience
participation. Here the children in the audience help by
becoming scenery, sound effects, extensions of the action,
even walk-on parts.
The familiar tale of wishes and transformations is well-suited
to the style. As the Fish grants the Fisherman's Wife's
spiraling wishes, the audience creates sea and storms, goes
fishing, becomes chickens and ducks in the farmyard, and
servants in the magnificent castle the Fish provides for
the Fisherman's wife.
