Die immer gewilde Spektrum Kinderteater span is terug met nog ‘n sprokie wat vir oud en jonk plesier bring.

Ma gooi die bone weg – wat onmiddelik groei tot ’n wonderboontjierank. Die nuuskierige Jan kan dit glad nie weerstaan nie en moet gaan kyk wat daar tussen die hoogste blaartjies gebeur. Op die ander punt van die boontjierank ontdek Jan ’n heel ander wêreld. ’n Wêreld met reuse, feëtjies, goud eierlêende eende en harpe wat sélf speel.

Hy raak natuurlik dadelik op die mooi meisie met die lang hare verlief. Wanneer die heks uitvind dat die prins op die toneel is raak sy vrééslik boos. Gehore sal maar self moet kom kyk of Raponsie en die prins by mekaar gaan uitkom; en of die heks se nare planne sal seëvier… Regisseur Gaerin Hauptfleisch het geen bekendstelling nodig na al die sprokies wat ietwat verwerk deur sy pen op ons planke kom nie!

Hier kom sy nare Dolf, die woeste wolf teë, wat blitsvinnig ’n plannetjie beraam om haar én haar siek ouma as ‘n smaaklike middag happie te geniet. Gehore sal dan maar net moet sien of die houtkapper en ander bosbewoners vir Rooikapie en haar Ouma kan red van Dolf die Wolf se onderduimse planne.

Hier word hul deur slegte raad bedien – en soos in die sprokie is Dolf die Wolf gou op hul spoor om te kyk of hy ’n kans gaan kry om homself van ’n smaaklike ete te voorsien. Of Dolf se long kapasiteit op die einde genoeg gaan wees om ’n Faktotum-geïnspireerde-baksteen-huisie te vernietig; en of Dolf sy middagmaal gaan kry….? Dit sal gehore maar self moet kom kyk. Die lede van die professionele akteurspan is Johan Falck, Alex Marais, Maryke Nel en Lize-Marie Smallberger.
