The Tavern & The Storyteller is a family friendly musical comedy that would make a wonderful theatrical movie or two night TV movie (along the lines of Merlin but without the need for FX).
The Tavern had it's stage debut April 2007.
A tavern in a small coastal fishing village is visited one night by a Storyteller. He tells a story to the local fishermen about "A tavern just like this with fishermen just like you". They and the Tavernkeepers become characters in the Storyteller's story about Lily, the daughter of the Tavernkeepers.
Lily is loved from afar by a poor boy named William. She is also lusted after by the Baron's evil son Caducias.
The story weaves in and out between the 'real' world of the tavern and the Storyteller's story, maybe even blurring the lines at times.
Is it just a tale or is there something more to the story?
Comedy, happiness, sadness, death, rabbit assassins, singing wall mounted stuffed fish, an arrow that looks a lot like a chicken, a Fairy Godmother and her Golden Spatula and the far reaching magic of love...
For additional info, downloadable PDF script, video, songs, production pics or just to brighten your day please vist the website.
