Ep. 3 “The Singing Bone” Feat. Ian Bond

Many of you may be familiar with stories like Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and The Beast, Sleeping Beauty and others that have been presented by Disney and other movie companies. Many of these common tales have a long history and roots within the European folktales of old, that were popularized by the Brothers Grimm, 19th century scholars who sought out and compiled them into books. The original manifestations, as told by the brothers, have a much darker tone than what we might be used in our modern era of the happy endings and the feel-good music of Disney. The Singing Bone tells the tale of two brothers who seek to kill a beast for the King that has been terrorizing the land. One brother is filled with pride, anger, and jealousy. The other is filled with love, purity, and goodness. It is Grimm Tale No. 28.

Ian Bond reads the tale for this episode. He is a Seattle based actor that has appeared on stage for many theater companies in the area.  Book-It Theater, Taproot Theater and Seattle Public Theater just to name a few.
