Tom Thumb

About the show

At King Arthur’s court, tiny hero Tom Thumb defeats giants and receives Princess Huncamunca’s hand, provoking Queen Dollalolla and Lord Grizzle to plot against the marriage. Fielding turns the low tragedy into burlesque as doctors mistake a monkey for Tom, Tom is swallowed by a cow, his ghost dies again, and the other characters kill one another in absurd tragic fashion.
