On the Ides of March 1999, we launched our Company with the first
performance of our play
“The Story of Aesop’s Fables”
It was a huge success, and is still very much in demand.
Sadly, since then I have witnessed with dismay the ever-reducing budget
for primary education.
I firmly believe Theatre in Education is an essential part of the
education process.
I recognise also that schools may offer the only opportunity for too many
living in deprived areas to witness live drama.
It seems our rulers have little regard for the arts.
Theatre plays no part in their thinking.
Bold statements perhaps, but where is the incentive for schools to
promote this culture?
Well, if the Government won’t do it, we certainly will.
Please take a look at our website www.aesopstheatre.co.uk and see the many Plays and Drama Workshops we offer.
Then, tell us how much you can afford, and we will try our hardest to
accommodate you. After all, as I have stated in my heading, “THE KIDS REALLY
DO COME FIRST”.
As I leave you, take a look at what the kids could be enjoying in these
pictures, Albert…..
