Fringe Festival "Just So Stories" review by Piddums


Lovely storytelling

Just So Stories
KC Fringe Festival

Full disclosure - storytelling as Theater is just not my cup of tea. I would prefer to see a full production, or failing that, just read the story myself. Storytelling misses on both counts for me, not real theater, it seems like someone is just dumbing down the process.

That said, this was very well done. A cast of six portray characters and play instruments over two of Rudyard Kiplings fables. Most of the work is done by Brad Shaw who plays a cat and a cobra and is a master at this sort of thing. The rest of the cast gives able support.

Again, this is well done, if you like this sort of thing.
