Le Moulin Magique

Excerpts from Le Moulin Magique, TSF's adaptation of Breton folk tales told in simple French. The Mill does not turn. The Land is barren. The dastardly landlord demands rent. Jean-Pierre, the poor miller, appeals to the Wind and the Rain for help. A fantastical journey, strange weather, magic and mischief ensue. A fable for our times of resilience and generosity overcoming greed and the bad guy getting his just desserts! Very visual with lots of comedy and live music. Suitable for children aged 8-12 years, their families, friends, teachers and anyone just learning French. Makes a great family show!
