Based on old European and American folk tales, this story is most effective with an ensemble of actors portraying several characters as well as trees, walls, doors, and any other necessary scenery pieces. Jack, a smart but simple country man, is about to marry a wealthy farmer’s only daughter, Buttons. When he realizes just how silly Buttons and her parents are, he vows to leave and never return unless he meets three sillies “more silly than you three sillies”! As he travels about the country, he meets an old woman trying to capture sunlight in boxes to brighten the inside of her windowless house; a family of milkmaids who have trouble counting to six; newlyweds with feuding in-laws; a man who spends hours each day trying to put on his pants; and numerous silly people who make Buttons and her family seem almost intelligent. This delightfully silly play is popular with audiences of all ages!
