The result is an evening that leaves children in awe and reminds adults of the elegant simplicity of great fairy tale storytelling.

A material with theatrical history

The Puss in Boots is among the most enduring fairy tale materials in European cultural history. The dramaturgy of the material is as timeless as it is effective: poverty, ascent, deception, power, and love lead to a finale that is resolved with humor and imagination. In theatrical practice, the material has taken on different forms repeatedly; the version by Thomas Freyer based on the Brothers Grimm is designated as Young Theater for an audience aged 6 and up, and focuses on the characters with their desires and weaknesses.
