Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Adapting Grimm's Fairy Tales...


Thank you everyone for the advice !

As for the Grimm's, I am quite familiar with the tales and fully aware
of how twisted they can be. I do have a book of their complete , uncut
tales and love every one of them.

I do not think it will be a problem though as I will likely chose a
tale that is a bit less gruesome. One I am thinking of is , The Nixie
of the Mill Pond. Also, I am not interested in making a cutesy puppet
show directed at kids ( nothing against that, I would like to try my
hand at that some day too !) and besides my puppets tend to be a bit
twisted looking anyway...LOL... I am gearing it towards an older child
and adult crowd with an interest and appreciation of fantasy,
mythology and folklore....
