The Student Theatre Immaturus presents: Folktales - The Musical!

Asbjørnsen and Moe need a bestseller, and they need it now.

If they do not come up with something that sells soon, it’s over. In search of inspiration and the truly great stories, they set out on a journey across the country.  Along the way they get to know Espen Arne. A fellow with muck on his face and a red helmet on his head, who has just received a letter from the King.

"Folktales – The Musical takes you on a lightly absurd and humorous journey featuring the familiar and beloved characters from Asbjørnsen and Moe’s fairy tales, wrapped in a delightful musical universe.” — Dramas

This comedic musical is a playful twist on the Norwegian folktales we all know and love. We meet amongst other things a group of ex-princesses plotting a princess revolution, a troll casino run by none other than the Mountain King himself and a narrator with a mischievous glint in their eye. This is the story behind the story. The truth about how the fairy tales really happened…
