Animal Fables from Aesop

A play-within-a-play operetta led by the narration of a goat. We are swept into a peaceable kingdom where the players at a country fair weave together many of Aesop’s enchanting fables. We learn the classic morals of “slow and steady wins the race” and “practice makes perfect” along with the more obscure “shun the quack” and “fancy dress cannot change the body inside” and are rewarded with real life lessons in a fun and exciting setting.--CreatorsBarbara McClintock, author Marisha Chamberlain, playwright Roberta Carlson, composerDetails34 pgs. 15 female, 15 male, Doubling possibleOriginally produced in CTC’s 1994-95 season Audience Recommendation: All Ages Click HERE to request a performance license.
