The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Written by Mike Kenny

For children aged 3-7 and their families

Winter is coming, the trees are bare, the birds fly south, & the sheep are flocking, seeking shelter from the wind. As the falling snow flurries to the ground wolf footprints can be seen padded into the hard ground.......

But standing on the hill top a boy is watching his sheep. He is bored, seeking adventure, & looking for the next best thing! A boy tasked to keep his community safe but with a vivid imagination. A boy who makes up stories & craves the thrill of the unknown A boy who, unthinkingly, unknowingly............. Cried WOLF!

A beautiful new wintery tale about a boy, unable to find delight in what is around him and instead seeks adventure, excitement and the thrill of the unknown!

Inspired by the famous Aesop fable, this wonderful play has a gifted ensemble of actor musicians who play the delightful characters, funny sheep and perhaps a scary wolf or two......
