Poor Aesop has a menagerie of voices running through his mind. This classic storybook tale has characters like the resentful fox, the egomaniac hare, the sluggish tortoise and the zen-like grasshopper that come to life in hysterical conversations that only Aesop can see and hear. With his mind crowded with all these big personalities, Aesop can hardly think straight. The only way to peace of mind and freedom is to let out the characters and share them with the world. This lively show is jam-packed with clever dialogue and music, mad-cap action and modern, uproarious twists, retelling the fables like you’ve never quite heard them before.
