GRUFF: A Musical for three Goats and a Troll

by Mercedes Bátiz-Bénet, Brooke Maxwell, Judd Palmer

The grass really is greener on the other side.  But a hideous troll has taken up residence under the bridge, and the promised land is forever unattainable – if you’re a goat born on the wrong side of the craggy chasm. The troll is soon recruited to join the side of the underclass, but when the revolution is won, the victors become tyrants, and it’s up to the troll to find a way to break the cycle of greed.  Finally, everybody agrees that the green grass is for everybody to eat — it’s a timely parable about immigration, through the lens of the Three Billygoats Gruff, created by three celebrated Canadian theatre Mercedes Bátiz-Benét, Brooke Maxwell, and Judd Palmer.
