Like most plays designed for Youth Theater, the cast of each play could be all children/young people, a mixture of adults and children, or all adults performing for children. The plays are based on unfamiliar fairytales and folktales from around the world, to wit: "Fairy Gifts" from the French fairy tale by Count de Caylus; "The Enchanted Deer" based on the German fairy tale "Little Brother and Little Sister" by the Brothers Grimm; "Gems in the Night" adapted from the Punjabi tale "Grasp All, Lose All," retold by Major Campbell, Feroshepore; "The Golden-Headed Fish" adapted from an Armenian tale retold by Frederic Macler, Paris; and "The House in the Forest" adapted from the German tale, "The House in the Woods" retold by the Brothers Grimm and other tale-tellers. Three of these plays -- "Fairy Gifts," "The Enchanted Deer," and "The House in the Forest" -- can also be produced as musicals. The music and songs for these have been composed by the author herself and are available separately. To produce any of these plays, send a letter of "Intent to Perform" to the author at this address: Ruby L. Agnir, 6119 Weatherwood Circle, Wesley Chapel, FL 33545.

Download or read book Fairy Tales and International Relations written by Kathryn Starnes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical engagement with contemporary IR textbooks via a novel folklorist approach. Two parts of the folklorist approach are developed, addressing story structures via resemblances to two fairy tales, and engaging with the role of authors via framing gestures. The book not only looks at how the idea of ‘social science’ may persist in textbooks as many assumptions about what it means to study IR, but also at how these assumptions are written into the defining stories textbooks tell and the possibilities for (re)negotiating these stories and the boundaries of the discipline. This book will specifically engage with how the stories in textbooks constrain how it is possible to define IR through its (re)production as a social science discipline. In the first part, story structures are explored via Donkeyskin and Bluebeard stories which the book argues resemble some structures in textbooks that define how it is permissible to tell stories about IR. In the second part the role of authors is explored via their framing gestures within a text, drawing on a number of fairy tales. By approaching the stories in textbooks alongside fairy tales, Starnes reflects back onto IR the disciplining practices in the stories textbooks tell by rendering them unfamiliar. Aiming to spark a critical conversation about the role of textbooks in defining the boundaries of what counts as IR and by extension the boundaries of the IR canon, this book is of great interest to students and scholars of international relations.
