Rapunzel  My students in English 4017/5017: Children's Literature and I just returned from Abingdon, Virginia, where we saw the Barter Players' theatrical performance of Catherine Bush's adaptation of the Grimm's classic fairy tale Rapunzel.  After the show, we held a "wunch" (working lunch) right there at Barter Stage II to compare the literary version to the stage adaptation and to analyze the literary and cultural differences and similarities we recognized across the three texts, time periods, and cultural locations represented in the Grimms' classic fairy tale, Shannon Hale's revisionary graphic novel Rapunzel's Revenge, and Catherine Bush's adaptation for stage.
