DURATION 65 Minutes
Inspired by Aesop’s famous fable, this is a beautiful wintery tale about a boy named Silas who learns that “nobody believes a liar, even when they’re telling the truth.” An ensemble of actor-musicians plays instruments and sings live, as they embody all the delightful characters, including hilarious sheep and perhaps a scary wolf or two… all set in a village of knitters with fingers flicking, needles clicking and where every new sweater tells a tale! Ultimately, Silas finds a place for himself (and his imagination) in his warm woolly community.
