A puppet(!) retelling of a Japanese folktale about a girl who goes in search of a magical medicine to save her baby sister (Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail?).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Fortunately (or not), we're not kids.  So even if we're not in this show's target audience (although adults who don't like puppetry can just stop speaking to me), we at least have the consolation of a stiff drink.  Gloom Raiser:  pour 2 oz. each of Gin and dry Vermouth, and 1/2 teaspoon each of Absinthe and Grenadine, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Stir.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Garnish with a lemon twist.
