About This Book

An allegorical Hallowe'en sketch staged for children and community performers that dramatizes the eclipse of dark magic by benevolent light. An older child in the role of a White Fairy enacts charms and messengers of Mirth and Jollity bring hopeful presence, while a Black Witch summons nocturnal familiars and imps yet finds her powers waning. The piece provides props, costumes, music cues, pantomime and detailed stage directions for amateur staging and concludes with the witch's fall and the fairy's rise, combining simple spectacle with moral symbolism.
