Buckeye Youth Theatre Announces
Auditions for:
“King of the Golden Riverâ€Â
Synopsis
From the classic fairy tale by John Ruskin, retold by Margery Evernden . Hans, Schwartz and Gluck are three brothers living in the legendary past. Hans and Schwartz are cruel and lazy, and Gluck, the youngest of the three, looks after the cottage and does the cooking - and is often treated badly.
One evening they are called on by a mysterious visitor who is in reality the Southwest Wind. The elder brothers dismiss him rudely. And then - disaster befalls the land!
The Southwest Wind destroys their valley turning it into red sand.
The cruel older brothers try alchemy and melt down Gluck's prize heirloom, a gold mug, which looks like the head of a golden bearded man.
This action releases the King of the Golden River! A finely dressed man who tells Gluck that a far-off river may be turned to gold by casting in three drops of pure water.
It is a hard and dangerous journey. The two elder brothers are defeated by their selfishness. Will Gluck be able to restore his country to its former wealth?
