SWEET LAND

MALATSIDZE IRMA
The play written after the story was staged at the puppet theatre and at several children’s theatres.
The story about Sweet Land tells us about one particular country and its life. In the country there is an orange sun that rises in the morning and a banana moon that appears at night, the houses have the shape of jam pots, and instead of hail there is sugar candy that drops from the sky. There is a lemonade river and there is a candy road instead of asphalt. Everyone is happy in this country – King Karamelius, Queen Marmeladina, their daughter Rafaela and all their subordinates, who are happy and kind people. The king and Queen are so happy that they happily accept the choice of their daughter to marry a poor strolling musician. 
In the story kindness and cruelty constantly oppose each other – The king of the Bitter Land attacks the king of the Sweet Land, vizier named “No one should know what we do” is organizing conspiracy against the king, chemist Alteusi’s magical drug will transform King Sting and Queen Zazu into kind people for several hours. Friendship and art help musician Linovio to get the heart of the princess. 
There is a lot of fear, a lot of obstacles in the story, and the characters are easy to understand for the children as well as the reader. Author uses the principle of creating names: cruel vizier “No one should know what we do”, also cruel Don Cactus and his children Biter and Spiker, kind queen Candy Jelly, kind girl Rosy, Princess Rafaela, nanny Bun, who is fluffy kind nanny, shoe-maker Sole, boy named Nut, who loves nuts, and a cruel king Sting II. There is constant fight between justice and injustice, but eventually everything ends with the victory of justice.
