Four classic tales of misadventure are combined to take the audience on a journey of venerable folk wisdom, in a celebration of our shared humanity. Presented in a deceptively simple, low-tech style, the play highlights how we humans can overlook the obvious when we worry needlessly about the impossible, take advice without thinking, or use yesterday’s solutions to solve today’s problems; these traditional tales have it all!
This richly imaginative production, with each story playfully told using a different style of puppetry – from human-sized to hand puppet, table-top to kitchenware – kindles creativity, inspires role play and encourages thinking outside the box.
Excellent presentation: fun was had by the students and teachers. We would have them back again and recommend to other schools. Children’s Garden School
