Simple and naïve Frederick, nicknamed “Dumbkopf” by his two older brothers, convinces Papa to let him go into the forest to cut wood. His brothers had already tried, but they both had peculiar accidents that left them injured after refusing to share their rations with a mysterious Old Woman. But the kind-hearted Dumbkopf doesn’t hesitate to share his meager food supply with the Old Woman. To reward him, the Old Woman helps him find the magical Golden Goose. As Dumbkopf leaves the forest with the enchanted bird, he hilariously encounters a variety of townspeople who all become stuck fast to each other when they reach out to touch it. You can just imagine the sight of Dumbkopf carrying the mystical goose with a human chain attached! No wonder this uproarious parade makes the princess of the kingdom laugh for the first time in her life! The king and queen had desperately been trying to put a smile on their princess’s face, bringing in clowns, comics... anything to bring out a chuckle. When Dumbkopf succeeds, he’s rewarded with the princess’s hand in marriage... and his family’s long-overdue respect. In its subtle way, this magical play, filled with much fun and humor, shows that being kind and generous has its rewards.
