A strange teacher works in a school, telling stories whose lead characters are animals. He is Aesop, arrived among us with his Fables tucked under his arm. But, as morals don’t always work, the Fables are now the starting point for eleven stand-alone scenes. With irony and aplomb, they tackle the worries, troubles and hopes of today’s teenagers.
