This book was written in answer to the complaint that there are not enough good plays for Youth Theater to produce. Youth Theater is a worthwhile activity for young people to indulge in after class or after school, preempting or preventing involvement in harmful activities otherwise. Fairy Gifts (Tales of Enchantment) is a set of 5 plays written in response to that need. Like most plays designed for Youth Theater, the cast of each play could be all children/young people, a mixture of adults and children, or all adults performing for children. The plays are based on unfamiliar fairytales and folktales from around the world, to wit: “Fairy Gifts” from the French fairy tale by Count de Caylus; “The Enchanted Deer” based on the German fairy tale “Little Brother and Little Sister” by the Brothers Grimm; “Gems in the Night” adapted from the Punjabi tale “Grasp All, Lose All,” retold by Major Campbell, Feroshepore; “The Golden-Headed Fish” adapted from an Armenian tale retold by Frederic Macler, Paris; and “The House in the Forest” adapted from the German tale, “The House in the Woods” retold by the Brothers Grimm and other tale-tellers. Three of these plays — “Fairy Gifts,” “The Enchanted Deer,” and “The House in the Forest” — can also be produced as musicals. The music and songs for these have been composed by the author herself and are available separately. To produce any of these plays, send a letter of “Intent to Perform” to the author at this address: Ruby L. Agnir, 6119 Weatherwood Circle, Wesley Chapel, FL 33545.
