The Feathered Ogre

After a strange vision, Lucy heads back to her dead-end hometown to hunt for a missing friend. A troublesome discovery leads her into a forbidden territory, home to ancient grudges, baffling curses and a most memorable monster. A whimsical, mysterious adventure about bridging old and new and getting unstuck. The play was written by folklorist and writer Daniel Peretti and inspired by the Italian tale of the same name by Italo Calvino.
