 Children’s ShowsEdinburgh Fringe Festival 2007Croc Doesn’t Eat Chicken! Roger Jenkins Act–IV @ The Radisson Holyrood Room A professional Singaporean storyteller shares favorite Asian folktales. Stories of universal wisdom
for adults too! By a teller known for comedy, ‘What is told mouth to mouth lives forever’, Vietnamese saying. Aug 13
The show is a collection of five stories drawn from Asia, including:
Croc Doesn’t Eat Chicken! Roger’s version is from Malaysia: hungry crocodile wants to crunch juicy chicken but as she’s about to gulp her down, chicken pleads, “Don’t eat me – don’t eat your little sister!” What a problem for croc (not the jungle’s brainiest creature!) Is she really her sister? Or is this a trick? (After all, she’s got feathers, croc’s got fur.) It takes croc’s friend iguana the lizard to provide the surprising answer. Zoologists may disagree, but audiences everywhere realise that it’s not the feathers/scales
that divides them but being egg–laying creatures that unites them.
Audience Participation!
The way Roger tells it, there’s lots of opportunity for audience participation too! The stories last 10 -15 minutes each and have delighted adults as well as children (recommended age: 7 and up.) Roger will vary the programme daily as his repertoire also includes stories from Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, India and, of course, Singapore. |
