Arts Rational - The Village Girl and the Frog King - Radio Broadcast

The Village Girl and the Frog King by Paul Beckett and Mia Zhou. Presented is a fable about a Frog Kingdom land where a cold-blooded Frog King rules over his people without compassion, only to learn the folly of his ways, realizing there are greater rewards in life than the mere the fear and obedience of his subjects. This amphibious fairy tale play is inspired by traditional folk stories, with some new twists. The play features a talented, colourful cast of performances from Paul Beckett, Alex Chisholm, Atty Gell, Ralston Harris, Irwin Levin, Kuei-ming Lin, Jewel Marshall, zi paris and Mia Zhou. Featured is original music and sound effects by Andrew Beddoes.This presentation follows the two live presentations in May of this year. The project has embodied the spirit of Theatre in the Raw, “giving exposure to voices seldom heard” since 1994 and we have been pleased to have so many talented performers as a part of our production as well as to receive so much support from the community for such original work.
