Stiltz
by Nancy Machlis Rechtman
A New Adaptation of the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale
“Rumpelstiltskin”
4F / 8M / 4 Either + Extras
Approximate Playing Time: 1 hour
Nancy Rechtman has done it again with this delightful adaptation of the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale, “Rumpelstiltskin”. As in the original story, a braggart father’s wild claim that his beautiful daughter can turn straw into gold finds its way back to the king who orders the young woman to the palace. The king displays a slightly modern tone as he retires to his hot tub while Princess tackles the task of turning mounds of straw into gold. That’s not “the” princess; that’s “Princess” — aptly named by her mother which will cause chuckles when Princess becomes Queen and her baby girl is named “Queenie”. Rumpelstiltskin has been shortened to “Stiltz” reflective of his ever decreasing stature and when he mysteriously appears and offers to magically transform the straw into gold, Princess agrees ultimately to give him her first born. The image of Stiltz dancing on stilts when his name is discovered is sure to garner smiles from your young audiences. Stiltz is perfect for performing by older youth or adults for children or by an all youth cast and is an excellent fit for both community and educational theatre.
