Did you ever see the tiger Lillies’ adaptation, SHOCKHEADED PETER?
-
I did not
-
It was really terrific (I saw it five times in three different cities), and the soundtrack album is still available.

People don’t realize this book was originally a cookbook (and a damn good one at that). When he sat down to do the illustrations he accidentally ingested 14 ounces of opium instead of his usual 2. The result was a fever dream, “Der Struwwelpeter” and multigenerational trauma.

Wasn’t he a dentist??

I have no idea. I was just kidding. 99.99999% of my responses to
@41Strange are jokes. I believe you are correct.

That's still pretty popular in Germany. My grandmother read it to me, when I was young. I never sucked my thumb again...

I'm from a Russian family so we hadn't it but our Ophthalmologist had it in his waiting room. One big reason why I disliked him

20 years later, the best theatre show I have ever seen is still
@TheTigerLillies' 'Shockheaded Peter,' gloriously, horribly, hilariously true to the original. -
Sorry to contradict on "true to the original": In Struwwelpeter, MOST of the children die, while the Tiger Lillies - as far as I remember - kill EVERY child at the end of its song
-
A minor, and laudable, embellishment.
-
Agreed. (Additional note: thank you for extending my knowledge of English - now I need to find uses for "embellishment", to embellish my active vocabulary)
