About
A marionette play in German about King Gilbert of the kingdom of Aperoll, who is getting more and more forgetful. The puppets are worked on strings, and the story plays out through their dialogue. It suits preschoolers and early primary kids who follow spoken German. Families without German will find the plot hard to follow.
