"As I was walking down the beach, one bright and sunny day,

I saw a great big wooden box, a-floating in the bay,

I pulled it in and opened it up, and there to my surprise,

I discovered a ...?...?...?... right before my eyes!"


A magical box is washed up on a beach.  What's inside?  A strange thing? A weird thing?... An amazing thing! Storyteller Peter Grimm finds the box on the beach.  He opens it and finds the amazing thing inside. Just one touch takes him on a magical journey, weaving its way through a medley of well-known Brothers Grimm tales. A fun delightful story told with puppets, music and live acting.

"The solo performer, in a remarkable tour-de-force, sings and plays harmonica and banjo, provides all the puppet voices, manipulates a variety of glove and rod puppets and moves around the boxes that operate as his playboard."

Matthew Isaac Cohen, Buxton Puppet Festival
