Children's Opera: The Rattler

Work:: Children's Opera: The Rattler (S0963902201)

What the Rattler has wind off - will always blow, ill, - For the Rattler will take - what the Rattler will. Every year, around this time, the people of Hobsmoor gather to hear Hob and his band of players retell the legend of the Rattler, a cautionary tale on wanting and manipulation. Alyson, a poor weaver's daughter, is bored of her simple life and dreams of a different lot. Meanwhile Crown Prince Aiden longs to be free of his mother's royal expectations. As the wind blows, their desires call the Rattler to Hobsmoor and it seems that all their wishes have been granted. But they soon discover that everything comes at a price. The Rattler is a new interactive retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. Each performance begins with a series of music and craft workshops and a colourful pageant. As the festivities unfold with lively, folk infused music, puppetry and inventive storytelling, you are invited to help bring this age-old tale to life.
