Puss in Boots

by Max Bush

17th century French fairy tale for a cast of 6. One hour. $ 6.50

Can a poor miller's son with nothing on his mind except his next meal win a fortune, a title, and the hand of a beautiful Princess? With the help of a bold, enterprising cat, a pair of boots, and a clever, imaginative playwright, the answer is yes!
Our Puss in Boots remains faithful to the qualities that have made the fable popular over many generations--an inventive wit and a sense of the magical possibilities of the relationships between men and beasts. To this the playwright adds a sure sense of theatre and a canny appreciation of the practicalities of performing for children. It's funny; it's fast-paced; it's filled with opportunities for sword play and directorial ingenuity. A play one can honestly recommend for the entire age range from kindergarten up.
