Filling out the imaginative staging, there are several solid performances. Abraham distinguishes himself in a major supporting role as the evil Wartsnitch. The winds are caricatures that seemed to appeal to keiki.
Kids generally seem to enjoy rude characters.
Poole was a big hit last Saturday. She reaffirms her status as one of the most versatile young actresses in local theatre with her comic work here. The kids loved her, too. Each of the winds gives Gimlet and The Princess a gift and a riddle that must be solved if the two are to thwart Wartsnitch's plan. Director Tamara Hunt, mother of show lead Tara Hunt, does a great job in pacing the action to hold the attention of pre-teens.
