This easy-to-stage, highly theatrical, entertaining cycle of three 20 minute plays from folklores around the world focuses on the important themes of generosity and greed. The plays show how greed throws people out of balance with their land and traditions, with each other and with themselves, and how generosity-the sense that one has gifts to share-can re-establish balance and connection between people and their world. In the Swedish tale, The Old Woman and the Tramp, a happy-go-lucky rhyming wanderer ingeniously brews up an outrageous soup to show a woman how to enjoy life again. The Japanese Tongue-Cut Sparrow tells how a wife’s cruelty to her husband’s pet ignites magical forces of good and evil to prove that people get what they deserve. In the third play, The Invisible Hunters from Nicaragua, two hunters gain the power of invisibility, but instead of using it to feed their village, they upset their tribe’s traditional balance with nature.
