Aesop's Fables
 

AESOP’S FABLES by PRESTO PUPPET THEATRE
Thursday 7 August 2pm
£4.50/£15 family (4)

This event will take place in the Hall

 


Another sparkling production from Britain’s leading touring puppet masters. In a make-believe land, where humans are clowns and animals tell stories, Presto Puppet Theatre weave the fantasy inspired by the well loved Greek slave Aesop.

The scene is set in a beautiful woodland glade where the animals of the forest gather together to amuse each other. Rather than use long complicated tales, the animals create a modern day revue with the emphasis on humour rather than deep seated morals.

Aesop’s old favourites are given a modern twist – including the Vain Jackdaw hoping to be named ‘Miss Glamour Bird’ in the Feather World Contest and the Wicked Wolf striving for a tender portion of Welsh Lamb – with hilarious results.
