About This Book

A three-act, nine-scene theatrical folk tale that pairs rural tableaux with fairy-tale and courtly episodes. The drama begins in pastoral nights with shepherds and communal song, then unfolds through meetings among kings, princes, mysterious princesses, death, and supernatural figures including a fairy queen and other enchanted beings. Episodes alternate music, dance, and rustic humor with moments of ritual, longing, and transformation, tracing quests and encounters that blur the boundary between village life and the enchanted realm. The piece favors lyrical staging and episodic scenes to evoke mythic atmosphere and explore fate, love, and change onstage.
