Travel around the world and explore forgotten myths and unusual legends in eight fast-paced and hilarious tales! Guided by a band of players, the audience is transported from the ancient Far East, where a hero must kill a giant centipede to save a dragon king, to the Russian countryside, where a poor orphan must defeat three witches who stole his grandfather’s eyes. Always quirky, and sometimes bizarre – these eight tales are filled with magic, mystery and morals.

Author‘s Note: Multiple casting is encouraged, but if you want to split up characters for a really large cast, that’s okay, too. The Players, when not narrating, can play the other roles in the stories, or people in the crowd. So, it can even be done with 10 actors in this manner. The eight stories included here can be cut down to as many as you wish to perform. If you cut out a story (or more), you’re welcome to adjust the transitions to make it work. This piece is intended to be flexible. Have fun!
