The Tooth Fairy	Tuesday, 27/04/10 07:00 - 09:00
Apr 27–May 1 @ 7 PM Matinee: May 1 @ 2 PM Around the world, children’s teeth fall out. They tuck them expectantly under their pillows and go to sleep. And in the dream-haunted night, a creeping creature from another world makes an exchange filled with dread significance: innocence traded for grubby lucre. And Mum and Dad grin in the morning, as if something deeply strange had not occurred in the glooming dark. It is time for the truth to be told. Witness this tale of Abigail, the Girl With Perfect Teeth. Cheer her crusade to save the world from the Tooth Fairy, and thereby preserve for eternity the innocent happiness of childhood. No more shall our golden days be bought from us! In The Tooth Fairy, The Old Trouts do not shirk from extravaganza. Monsters! Cosmic curses! Sea battles! Broadway brou-ha-ha! Heart-wrenching laments! All told with puppets from the acclaimed company that brought you Famous Puppet Death Scenes and The Erotic Anguish of Don Juan—this time plying their trade for children. Not only children: all those who have lost a baby tooth, found a coin under their pillow, and wondered what mysterious transformation had occurred in the murk. “One of the best, most surreal works of imagination I’ve seen in ages.” - See Magazine, Edmonton
