I Wish I Was a Mountain

A family theatre piece using rhyme and jazz to reimagine Hermann Hesse’s fairy tale ‘Faldum’, exploring wishes, imagination and big questions through playful storytelling.

Theatre Royal Bath presents I Wish I Was A Mountain, an Egg production based on “Faldum”, a fairy tale by Hermann Hesse.

On the day of the annual fair, a wanderer arrives offering to grant a wish. Two townsfolk discover that getting what is wanted can be dangerous: one disappears into melody and the other becomes a lonely mountain. The show blends rhyme, jazz music and playful philosophy, inviting children to bring curiosity while adults leave answers at the door.
