Produktbeschreibung

This comical play starts with Anthula, a young Greek girl, who has just returned from the marketplace where she listened to a man named Aesop tell some interesting stories, mainly about animals. She's not sure she understands the morals, so she tells the stories to the audience. The Sun is confident and laid-back compared to the blustery North Wind. Incredibly slow Tortoise is a pure gentleman who gets upset at Hare's boasting. Leader Mouse plans and plots to get the mice into the kitchen for food but the plans tend to unravel. Sarge-Ant may be tough on the Prive-Ants but they all know it's so the colony can survive the winter; and Grasshopper just wants to play. Characters can be costumed in replicas of ancient Greek chitons (tunics and cloth belts over shirts and shorts will do) or fitted with costume pieces that match their personalities. Written for children to perform, Four Fables of Aesop can also be performed for children by teens to adults.
RUNNING TIME: approx. 45 minutes (time can be shortened by doing fewer stories).
FLEXIBLE CAST: 7-25. NOTE: Permission required to perform this play. Contact info on copyright page.

Autorenporträt

Marian Scadden reads a lot, and likes to write in theater-esque and other genres, such as Young Adult fantasy, Middle Grade stuff, and Picture Books. She loves playing board games with her family, especially when she wins. Marian graduated in Children's Theatre from Brigham Young University decades ago, more or less. Writing books and plays is not quite as long as that. She started writing plays so she wouldn't have to pay royalties when directing them; she started writing picture books to see if she could and she advanced to novels in 2009 when she participated in National Novel Writing Month. It's kind of exciting.
