Synopsis

Cast 5M, 3F.

Mr. Sills started in New Haven, journeyed to the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and wound up on Broadway with this group of famous fables from the Grimm Brothers and Aesop.

Here you will meet again Henny Penny, the Golden Goose, Venus and the Cat, the Fisherman and His Wife, The Robber Baron, the Bremen Towson Musicians, and other favorites.

The fables require talented actors with expressive bodies.

And make no mistakes about the quality: this is top drawer adult theatre.
