Aesop's collection of 665 fables dates back 2,600 years. For this fun-filled 50-minute musical extravaganza for children and families we have chosen around 8 to present to you. Don't expect the usual fare. This isn't JUST a musical for children! We will be turning the art of storytelling on its head to lead the audience through the lives, lunches and misadventures of a truly miss-matched band of scruffy, silly and sometimes stubborn creatures, as they slowly and painfully learn life's little wisdoms, and bigger secrets.

Which fables will be presented in the play? You may recognise some old favourites, but there may be some you have never come across before! Have you heard teh fable of The Jay And The Peacock? Or Androcles And The Lion? Maybe you know the story of The Lion And The Mouse, or The Goose Who Laid Golden Eggs? Each has a valuable lesson to teach, and we will be telling all of these and more! Watch out for well-known favourites.

"Recognising our audience, we have carefully chosen the fables for their fun, and for their important morals, and we will make sure that there will be no eating of anyone," says Seward.

This brilliantly imaginative piece of theatre includes a series of catchy songs, and stories told in a visually engaging and entertaining manner, with an impressive line-up of skilled actors you may have seen in I Theatre's previous productions such as Ant and The Grasshopper, Grimm's Fairytales and Puss in Boots.

Join our band of quirky, curious creatures as they learn life's little wisdoms, and bigger secrets, with a mixture of fun, excitement and silliness. You are sure to be tickles, teased and turned around by this amusing collection of fabulous fables - however old, or young you are!

You may also hear mention of certain other well known fables or characters from the fables in the songs and the dialogue, but they will not be presented as full stories.
