The Elves and the Shoemaker
Play script. Lovable, elfin versions of the old fairy tale. One set. Peasant costumes. Cast of 8 women, 1 man, 3 elves. (Suitable for all-girl cast.)
A young Elf, just beginning to learn Elf duties, is accompanied by two experienced Elves, who take him to the Shoemaker's Shop for his first assignment. Here they find a scene of distress, as the Shoemaker is gone to war; and his wife and daughter are in danger of losing the shop for debt to the greedy Heckla, if they cannot make her a pair of shoes for the morrow. Late that night the Elves make the shoes, and return the next day to see their success. But Heckla has intercepted the money to pay off the debt, and is about to take possession. Again the Elves are obliged to come to the rescue, to make it possible for everybody to live happily ever after.
