A musical melodrama written by NEYT founder Stephen Stearns and the beloved Brattleboro folk music icon Peter Amidon, Jack and the Devil's Three Golden Hairs is a mishmash of Brothers Grimm and classic vaudevillian stage antics! A conniving King attempts to thwart his daughter's prophesied marriage to Jack, a penniless peasant. But every measure he takes just makes the fated prediction seem more certain... until he comes up with a foolproof plan: Give Jack the impossible task of fetching three of the Devil's hairs from the depths of the underworld itself! Surely that could never be achieved... right?
