THE GINGERBREAD MAN
PEROKE THEATER
Premiere Winter 2009 to Winter 2012
CHILDREN'S PLAY
Markos Seferlis, who for years has won the love of children, adapts, directs
and stars in a hilarious show that touches all children's souls...
SUMMARY
The whole story takes place
on the old wooden sideboard of a kitchen.
Gingerbread Man, who has just been baked
from the "Big Ones", i.e. the owners of the house, meets Salt, Pepper
and Cuckoo, who lives inside the clock
and faces a very serious problem. He has a tired and sore neck,
which does not allow him to pronounce properly
his infamous "cuckoos" and as a result
he is in danger of being confronted
with the trashcan the next morning.
The Gingerbread Man's efforts
to heal Cuckoo's throat,
so that he can find his voice again and remain with them,
are blocked by a hungry Mouse
and an old and forgotten pouch
of Tea, who lives inside a teapot
on the highest shelf of the sideboard.
The big and constructive participation of the children, the clever humor, the intense action, the enlarged objects and scenery, the many beautiful songs and finally the simple, but very important messages of the show, such as
friendship, love and cooperation, rank the musical "The Gingerbread Man" in one of the most favorite works of children.
