Style:
A comic twisting for kids of the Swiss sixteenth century legend. A one-act play in length, though structurally in three acts. |
Synopsis:
Wilma Tell and her brother Johann travel to the prosperous Swiss town of Altdorf to make their fortunes. Unfortunately their arrival coincides with that of the forces of an expanding Austrian Empire, represented by the cruel Governor Gessler. Wilma, more by accident than design, soon finds the whole town depending on her to resist Gessler's attentions. |
