Aesop's Fables

Aesop's Fables are a collection of ancient Greek animal fables, moral tales that use anthropomorphic animals to teach lessons about human virtues and vices.

An updated version of four of the timeless storyteller’s most popular fables, Aesop’s Fables is a fast-moving play in which all the scene changes and costume adaptations are done in full view of the audience.  As the various actors become the Rabbit, the Turtle, the Fox, the Crow, or the Donkey in the Lion’s skin, the audience is brought into the action of the play by seeing the change from actor to character and back to actor again.  Four of Aesop’s best-loved fables...  ’The Fox and the Crow,’ ’The Hare and the Tortoise,’ ’The Donkey In the Lion’s Skin,’ and finally, ’The Fox and the Sour Grapes,’ are delightfully created in this interesting approach to storyteller’s theatre.
