Madame Jeanne’s Fables

La Fontaine never fails to hit the mark!

About

Mrs Jeanne, a descendant of the famous Jean de La Fontaine, having just returned from holiday, is preparing to reopen the Café de la Cigale with her loyal Harlequin… when they find out that the Fourministre threat to close it down! To save it from going under, they’re organising a big party, the Raven, the Fox, the Wolf, the’Lamb, the Lion, the Gnats and many others – not necessarily invited – turn up uninvited… and that’s when things go pear-shaped!

Four high-energy, sharp-witted performers bring more than 20 animals to life to teach us a lesson! A funny show full of twists and turns in which the famous characters from La Fontaine’s Fables come to life. Presented in a zany and burlesque production, the message remains brilliantly relevant 400 years on and still hits the mark!
