Kneehighs the wild bride...

The other day, Ella played a radio recording of the wild bride by the company Knee highs who create theatre for children to watch but does not specialise in children's theatre. Georgia wrote some notes:

I wrote these notes while discussing with my group: 

Kneehighs the wild bride

- no age range written but would say 12 plus (actually 8 years and plus)

- gruesome with cutting her hand off

- religious contributions 

- surprised the devil was involved 

- you can hear it when she has her hands cut off 

- I liked it 

- the music added worked well/ quite important 

- by hearing it, I pictured the story in my head

- 'she's to clean' meaning purity / virginity 

- 'need to dirty her up' can be seen as making her a slut

- sounds like a camp fire story at the beginning 

- stories about being sold to the devil is called a Faustian tale

- the 'cross roads' is seen where magical things happen/where you most likely meet the devil

- blues music
