About the show

The Goose-Girl, held by a witch, falls in love with a King’s Son. The witch’s prophecy identifies them as the rulers destined for a nearby town, but the townspeople reject them and drive them away. Years later, exhausted and starving, the lovers seek shelter at the witch’s ruined hut and eat her enchanted death-bread, dying together. The Fiddler and the children return too late and carry them away for burial.
