The Storyteller (1)

1988. Starring John Hurt, Brian Henson. Digital. 2 x 25 min.

"I am a teller of stories, a weaver of dreams. I can dance, sing, and in the right weather I can stand on my head..."A stunning re-telling of classic European fairytales brought to life by Anthony's beguiling screenplays with the help of Jim Henson's Creature Workshop and an always-stellar cast. This was Anthony's first experience of working in post-production as much as in pre-production (alongside his dear friend, producer Duncan Kenworthy) - something he later claimed prepared him for the role of film director.

THE LUCK CHILD

Guest starring Steven Mackintosh, Cathryn Bradshaw.
Directed by Jon Amiel

From an early Russian folk tale. An evil king sets out to kill a 'luck child', the seventh son of a seventh son, whom it is prophesied will one day be king. But luck is with the child and against the king, and he ends up becoming his son in law and heir to the throne instead. Now the king has just one more card to play: in order for 'Lucky' to earn the hand of the princess in marriage, he must bring back the golden feather from the Griffin's back and venture to the creature's island - a place from where no one has yet returned…

SAPSORROW

Guest starring Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Alison Doody, James Wilby.
Directed by Steve Barron

There is a king, his dead wife, and his three daughters. Two are as ugly and as bad as can be, but the third, Sapsorrow, is as kind and as beautiful as her sisters are not. There is a ring belonging to the dead Queen, and a royal tradition that states that the girl whose finger fits the ring will become Queen. When Princess Sapsorrow slips on her dead mother's ring for safekeeping, the King finds out and must marry her according to the law. The princess goes into hiding, disguised as a dirty, ragged thing, and sets to work in another castle where she falls for a handsome prince. Now if only he can see her beauty beneath her Scraggletag appearance…
