CLASSIC. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this humorous and touching play. Alicia is given a magical fishbone, which will grant her just one wish. With nothing but rotten vegetables to eat and no coal to keep the family warm, Alicia’s 17 siblings implore her to make a wish. But despite the children’s pleas for a pudding in every pot or a moat full of fish, Alicia can’t decide what to wish for and is afraid she will not use her wish wisely. Confused, Alicia becomes even more determined to use the wish only after she has tried all she can to solve her family’s problems with imagination, ingenuity, and perseverance.
