Aesop's
Fables or the Aesopica is
a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and story-teller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 560 BCE. (source).
Like many, our home library, especially during Dumpling’s younger days, was
brimming with books on these fables and we also homeschooled on them. From Ant and the Grasshopper to Lion and the
Mouse, there were always valuable lessons to be learnt from each story.
I Theatre is certainly no stranger to the local arts scene
having produced many children’s theatrical productions over
the years which Dumpling and I had the chance to watch. Till now, she still
recalls plays such as “The Enormous Turnip”, “The Little Red Hen” and “Magic
Porridge Pot” where the plays were interactive and the songs, catchy.
In its first production for this year, I Theatre is bringing
to us about 8 stories from Aesop Fables in a 50min production which includes the lesser
known fables such as “The Jay And The Peacock?” and “Androcles And The
Lion”.
The play promises an impressive line-up of actors from I Theatre’s previous productions such as Ant and The
Grasshopper, Grimm’s Fairytales and Puss in Boots using marvellous masks,
puppetry, live action and songs!
I am pleased to share that I have 2 pairs of 2 tickets worth

A Boy Who Cried Wolf. I've been reading this book to all my 4 children because of the moral at the end of the story. Always remind them that how liars are rewarded in the end if they tell lies.

Lion and the mouse.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for organizing this. Many of the Aesop Fables are nice, and most importantly they teach something. To name one favourite would be The Crow and the Pitcher. Love the moral of thinking for a solution to resolve the problem rather than just giving up.

My Favourite Aesop Fable is The Tortoise and the Hare because from here we learnt that a slow and steady person will win the race, but at least must do our best and don't give up so easily.
