About the Show:
A man on a dirt-poor farm during the Great Depression rescues a goose trapped in a barbed wire fence. Later he meets a mysterious young woman. She is a “strange creature” but he marries her, despite his mother’s objections. She seems out of place; unfamiliar with simple tasks and customs. She is able to rescue the family from ruin by weaving beautiful blankets they can sell, insisting that no one watch her while she works.
Adapted from the traditional folk tale The Crane Wife, The Goose is a story of identity, self-sacrifice, belonging, and what it means to let go of what you love.
