A series of five magical plays
4: Ivan the Fool and Vasilisa the Wise by STEPHEN MULRINE
Narrated by Nicholas McArdle
'This is a very peculiar story....' And so it is, with a man-eating witch, a talking doll, a dead princess and a live skeleton - the source of all the world's evil. But the course of true love never did run smooth and Ivan the Fool is determined to marry the beautiful Vasilisa, no matter what the obstacles.
