| Description |
"Fiery Tales is based on tales of Chaucer and Boccaccio. Spicy, saucy and delightfully funny, it revolves around the lodgers at an inn with much bed swapping, prophecies of a great flood and young love victorious! Looney Tunes is described by the composer George Dreyfus as a "royal ballad ballet burletta". A cast of hilarious characters act out a zany story full of wicked staire and send up goonery." |
