AESOP'S FABLES

AESOP'S FABLES

Some stories are too good to forget, and too important not to tell again. Aesop's Fables returns to NCT’s stage in a vibrant new production that brings the world's most beloved moral tales to life with local flavour, contemporary energy, and plenty of heart. Through bold storytelling, physical play, and infectious humour, this production reimagines the classics we grew up with: The Tortoise and the Hare, The Grasshopper and the Ants, The Lion and the Mouse, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and The Wind and the Sun for a new generation of young South African audiences.

Directed by Devon Flemmer, these enduring fables speak to something timeless in all of us: The rewards of honesty, the power of perseverance, the quiet strength of kindness, and the wisdom of thinking before we act.

Funny, fast-paced, and full of surprises, Aesop's Fables is a 45-50-minute theatrical adventure families and schools will be talking about long after the curtain falls.
