This play consists of a series of classic African folk tales narrated and performed by actors using only masks to create a variety of characterizations. Stories presented include ”How Mouse Came To Tell Tales,” ”How Ananse The Spider Passed On The Debt,” and ”The Talking Skull.” Ideal for touring, the show gives performers an opportunity to create various roles in the same play... and introduces young audiences to a whole new area of fascinating folklore.
