The world is round

“The play depicts the journey of discovery of two children – an emotional rollercoaster of feelings that accompany us along the way. The musical accompaniment enveloped me in a sense of wondrous curiosity about life, one that adults do not nurture in the way children imagine it. Is the world truly round?
Thank you for the beautiful performance of this wonderful play.”(Marcus A.)

“As a woman of more advanced age, I felt transported back to my own childhood – or perhaps into the adventurous world of Huckleberry Finn. The world of the child Rose unfolds almost entirely alongside, and independent of, the world of adults. Of course, Mama and Papa are irreplaceable, as are grandparents, aunts, and uncles, yet on the path toward growing up, it is more often the animals in the surroundings that play a role, or a cousin with whom one can dive into an imaginative world of one’s own, or the nearby landscape with its many beloved places: the pond, sandy paths, meadows, a mountain that in ‘real life’ might only be a hill. In between lies the great adventure of coming of age. This touched me deeply. Beyond that, I was absolutely delighted by the two actresses and the musician, but also by the stage design, the costumes, and the witty, bilingual adaptation by Ms. Lenhart. I will gladly recommend this play to others.” (Barbara B.)
