- Abstract
- en_US Music by Jeff Parton. Here is a standard Samuel French copyrighted script for use by various drama groups with clear directions early about royalties. This musical starts with Escallywags bullying his slave Aesop to help him get ready to travel and then to accompany him on his way to the Oracle. His question: "How can I be even more perfect?" The Oracle's riddling answer is to free his slave. Aesop's way to freedom, he learns from Hermes, is to watch animals and learn from them. His first observation is of ants showing that where there is a will, there is a way. The second is of the crow filling up a pitcher. The third will take him into the race of the tortoise and hare. I am a little surprised that I had not encountered reference to this play, first performed in London's Victoria Theatre.
