Aesop's Funny Fables (appropriate for older cast)
| 19 roles for older actors or adults to perform. This show can be played by as few as 5 actors with doubling. Single set or "found" space. Very easy to tour. As the old man Aesop awakens from a dream, he realizes that he has been dreaming about stories his grandfather used to tell him … the fables of Aesop. In his dream the people in the neighborhood appeared as animals out of Aesop's fables. We see four characters from the neighborhood … a trendy girl, a tough boy, a nerd and an old woman. Along with Aesop, these characters and others take us through the world of Aesop in a delightfully comic way. |  |
