Stottrpjotr (4+)
Take a look in advance
Today is a special day! Prince Pyotr is given a special task: he gets to read the people to sleep every night as the Noble Messenger. Pjotr is looking forward to it and so is his mother the queen. She is very proud of her Pjotr.
The evening dawns and Pjotr begins. But it goes wrong. He falters, he stumbles, he stammers. The councilor panics: 'this is no way for a prince to read aloud'. The queen is startled: 'this is well wrong!' But Pyotr doesn't understand the problem: 'my head just goes faster than my mouth' he says. 'Get that stutter out' cries the queen in despair. The counselor knows a solution.

Today is a special day! Prince Pyotr is given a special task: he gets to read the people to sleep every night as the Noble Messenger. Pjotr is looking forward to it and so is his mother the queen. She is very proud of her Pjotr.

The queen is startled: 'this is well wrong!' But Pyotr doesn't understand the problem: 'my head just goes faster than my mouth' he says. 'Get that stutter out' cries the queen in despair. The counselor knows a solution.
Pedantic chattering majors and strange doctors come along as well as the meddling counselor himself. But it doesn't work, the stutter remains. Pjotr hardly dares to talk anymore. First there was nothing wrong and now suddenly he is not good enough. That's unfair. Pjotr gets furious and decides to abolish all stutter words. Banned. The whole V, the S and the M he does away with. But with the words, things disappear too. The V of sadness is gone, the S of stuttering is gone, but so is the M of Mama. Mama gone? It wasn't meant to be. Mama has to go back. But will the stuttering come back, too? And will he ever be good enough as a prince?
STOTTRPJOTTR is festive and colorful musical theater about language in all its manifestations. A musical journey about learning to talk with new words and communicate about abstract matters, such as love and sorrow. Do words describe the world or do words make the world what it is?
