Everybody loves the international bestseller and award-winning book, The Rainbow Fish, with its wonderful message of friendship and belonging.  This youth-cast play features a variety of charming school and sea-creature characters who admire the famous Rainbow Fish, the most beautiful fish in all the ocean.  But when Rainbow Fish refuses to share her vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature.  Unhappy that no one adores her anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus.  Octopus helps the young fish learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

With bubbly, energetic dialogue full of fun, fishy wordplay, this non-musical version of “The Rainbow Fish” welcomes young audiences to a world framed in a universal message of love, sharing, and kindness that is so much more than just a simple children’s story.

Adapted from the book by Marcus Pfister, translated into English by J.  Alison James, with illustrations by Marcus Pfister.
