This performance of Aesop’s Fables at the Mall House was one of the most enjoyable events I have attended this year. I took my grandchildren to the 12 0′Clock show and even though there was a small crowd, the actors gave 100% for the full hour. All the children joined in the fun and interaction and created a very lively performance. I think I enjoyed the show even more than the children and laughed my heart out , especially at the story of the Wolf in Sheeps clothing. I thought the interweaving of the different fables linked by the story of The Hare and The Tortoise was a very innovative idea. My compliments to the four actors for such an uplifting show and to Oona Colin for bringing the group to the Mall House.
Thanks Kay, I thought it was a wonderful show too, they were absolutely brilliant ! Watch this space for another children’s show by the Lambert Theatre in March. Thanks as always for your support.
