I will work with "PLAYLETS" of scenes of THE GREEN SNAKE AND THE BEAUTIFUL LILY

On Tuesday the 18th of March 14 in the Eurythmy Room at Rudolf Steiner House in LONDON at 35, Park Road, - post code NW1 6XT - between 11am and 4pm. The nearest tube station is "Baker Street."

Please come for any or all of the time. There is no need to book. The cost is £1.

Through our reading, speaking, envisioning and playing the roles of the key characters and what they say, experience how their stories in this fairy tale can "meet" and inform our own.

The Posts on this Blog which carry recordings of my speaking scenes give you an insight into the tale.

Full texts are available on the net. The translation we will use is by Thomas Carlyle. I will have paper copies of the PLAYLETS - text and direct speech for each of the different "scenes". These provide what we need.

Come and choose a Scene, play with it and through this gain a real feeling for and insights from this wonderful piece of world literature by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

I look forward to seeing you there.

THIS IS THE FIFTH INSTALMENT OF THE GREEN SNAKE AND THE BEAUTIFUL LILY

Following the conversations between The Green Snake and the kings in the chasm the "Man with the Lamp" returns home to his cottage to find his wife in great distress. The Will-o'-wisps, the Ferryman encountered in the first instalment, had visited her.

This phase of the fairy tale introduces a number of riddles - puzzles - mysterious "facts" - that challenge the reader and which, worked upon, can generate wisdom.

So listen carefully! A recording of my reading this instalment is attached below.

My next workshop on The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily is in London on 18 March 14. I am holding it between 11 am and 4 pm at Rudolf Steiner House 35, Park Road, (near Baker Street) London. The post code for this address is NW1 6XT

Please come and join me in my exploration of the key characters and their speeches. We will act some of them out as mini "playlets".
