Synopsis: | This clever play is really four little plays tied together by a Mouse -- A very clever Mouse -- who tells a series of stories to a Lion -- a very arrogant Lion -- to avoid being eaten. The Tiger, The Brahman and The Jackal is the story of a clever Jackal tricking a tiger into giving up his dinner (the poor Brahman). A Better Mousetrap is about a man who builds an elaborate mousetrap to catch the mouse who is frightening his wife. The mousetrap explodes, the wife leaves, and the mouse stays. The Lion's New Tail is a variation of The Emperor's New Clothes, with the lion buying an invisible tail, purchased with his roar. Without tail and roar, he is mistaken for Reginald by Reginald's wife and dragged off to go shopping. King of the Jungle is the story of a Lion who when elected king eats one too many chickenfeet at his coronation. The last sticks in his throat. Only a mouse's paw is small enough to remove the tasty morsel, and as -- per the Lion's request -- there is no mouse in the story, the Lion is doomed. Each tale is re-told with the unique wit of a mouse on a dinner plate. In the end, of course, the Mouse prevails! Each story provides a new part for each actor and the entire cast stays on stage for the full 50-minute length of the play. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Princess and the Princess:flexible cast of 21 / simple set, costumes, props / 30 minutesA poor polite princess and a rich rude princess meet on a narrow mountain path and neither will move to let the other pass. Everyone who tries to help gets stuck on the mountain with them. After a riddle proves both princesses are 'real' it is the poor princess who graciously steps aside - not because she has to, but because she so chooses. Twice Upon a Time:flexible cast of 20, simple set, costumes, props / 25 minutesThe spells of three whimsical witches go awry and Snow White, the Princess from Princess and the Pea, Beauty, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty all appear out of nowhere, much to their aggravation. Dwarfs, soldiers and a frog materialize when even more spells get confused. The frog is turned into a prince and the princesses are turning into frogs when the witches stumble on a solution in this fine kettle of fish. The Lost Half-Hour:flexible cast of 25, bare stage, simple costumes, props / 30 minutesBobo is a simple lad who is the subject of much ridicule. None of his cruel 'friends' expects that he will actually find a lost half hour. But the boy returns from his search victorious, having found it, a lost temper, a lost reputation and a lost princess. | |||||
