Aesop's Fables

Thistle Theatre, a puppet theatre for families, presents:

AESOPS FABLES
Families of all ages will delight in Thistle Theatre's puppet production of Aesop's Fables. Aesop was born a slave in 6th Century BC and is heralded as one of the great moral teachers of all time. Aesop tells three entertaining stories of animals that have human foibles and strengths. Each of the tales is set in a different location on the Mediterranean Sea including The Tortoise and the Hare.

The production features the score and original songs written by Sue Ennis in a show directed by Jean Enticknap with puppets designed and built by Brian Kooser.

Thistle Theatre specializes in the Bunraku-style of puppetry that is an ancient Japanese art form. Although the style has been modified for the modern audience and performer, the basic idea remains the same: puppeteers who dress entirely in black to symbolize their invisibility operate the puppets.
