StyleOne-act comedy play for kids. It's based on a fairytale, so contains a couple of gruesome moments (which, happen off-stage). Simple (negligible!) sets.
SynopsisTom the Fool has absolutely no common sense, and his mother wishes for him to have a 'pottle of brains' so he can take care of himself after she is gone. She sends him to the old woman on top of the hill, who claims not to be a witch in any shape or form, but who asks him to bring back the heart of what he likes the most and answer one of her riddles. Eventually, after discovering what it means to sacrifice what you like the most, Tom receives a pottle of brains - but not in the way you would expect!
