It's been freshly adapted for the Folger by the fantastic director, Mary Hall Surface, and includes period music from the Folger Consort, in addition to singing, dancing, puppetry...and sheep.
The show also represents the long-awaited return to the stage of the lovely and uber-talented Holly Twyford.
I play Mak, a clueless but loveable villain, who gets involved with some unusual business involving said sheep (Hey, it's a family show!).
Favorite Line: "Ye shall get many a thwang."
The Folger has recently posted some interesting podcasts about the show and its history, which includes snippets from one of our early rehearsals (You can hear me in all, but mostly on no. 3.)
The show runs from Dec. 12-30, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday. There are no shows on Monday. For more on tickets, go here. You won't be disappointed.
If you come, please stop and say hi afterwards.
So endeth the shameless plug. Mickle thanks.

Break a leg, Andy! I wish I could come see it.
We are looking forward to seeing this and expect you to go out drinking with us afterward.
Sheep = funny
This play is all about the sheep really.
When you come see it, you'll realize the old adage is true. Was it W.C. Fields who said, "Never share a stage with children...or sheep?"
Oh yes, and drinks=good.
Going out afterwards=happy Andy
