A Queer Fairy Tale
by Brett Crandall
a new queer-inclusive puppet play based on the myths of water sprites.
ONDINE tells the tale of how the titular character finds love when he meets a knight errant, Hans. But Ondine must make a pact with the Old One that should his beloved deceive him, Hans will die. As the two set out to marry before the King, Ondine will have to face the harsh, cold injustices of the human realm. Can Ondine and Hans truly live happily ever after? Only with help from Ondine’s puppet friends of the deep.
With careful language crafted into hilarious yet insightful verse, ONDINE gives a lesson in emotional intelligence.
