Play | Seven in One Blow, or The Brave Little Kid: A Family Play Inspired by The Grimm's Fairy Tale!


" ...(a) genuinely sweet, heart-warming, heart-filling hour of theatre." - NYTheatre.com "...what could be better than a play that asks you to shout? Well, one that asks you to sing..." - The New York Times Adapted from the classic fairy tale by The Brothers Grimm, The Brave Little Tailor. Seven In One Blow, or The Brave Little Kid tells the story of a child living in the city who kills seven flies with a single swat and makes a belt emblazoned with "SEVEN IN ONE BLOW" to commemorate the event. As he is traveling about, most people think his belt refers to seven people and assign the Kid all kinds of difficult tasks based on this faulty presumption. Along the way a few interesting things are learned: an Ogre finds that you don't always have to show how strong you are... sometimes it's okay just to be quiet about it; a girl realizes that when you tease people you are hurting someone who may be just like you; and a scary monster understands that because she is loved, she may not be so scary after all. In the end, the Kid ultimately discovers that a parent's love and care has no bounds..
