The Falcon & The Masque of Beauty and the Beast

Studio East's Young Performers series presents The Falcon & The Masque of Beauty and the Beast! One of the best-loved children's stories in Russia, The Falcon is a funny and romantic adventure that echoes both Snow White and Cinderella. Anna is to marry Tevdore, a farm boy next door, but into their engagement party comes a storyteller, offering glimpses of a different, enchanting world and another Anna who possesses a magic falcon feather that turns into Fenist, a prince. Eventually, the real Anna must decide between the security of Tevdore or the adventure of Fenist."Moonlight and a gentle, misty veil, the perfect setting for a fairytale. Here, for an hour, you and I will climb the silken threads of 'Once upon a time...'"So begins The Masque of the Beauty and the Beast. Narrated by the three masked Gargoyles who also set the scenes and move the action, this stylized version is told in rhymed couplets.
