In an attempt to prove that Aesop was history's greatest fabulist, a group of storytellers cracks the spine of a massive edition of Aesop's Fables, releasing the old man's most memorable characters into the theater. The Tortoise, the Hare, the Hart, the Vines, the Simpletons, the Fox, the Lion, the Mouse, and a certain golden egg-laying Goose all take the stage, delightfully re-imagined; the Tellers alternate between narrating and joining the action. Bristling with comic energy, this play caters to a large cast and is perfect for audiences of all ages.
