Based on their own travels and observations in Iran, in 1976 and 2004, Puppetmongers introduce a stunningly beautiful world of imaginative experience while showing an ancient culture adapting to the modern world. This is the retelling of a classic Mid-Eastern tale of a poor and peaceful grass cutter whose generosity inadvertently draws him into a world of powerful people and high finance. The play is performed with delicately carved rod marionettes and delightful visual effects inspired by traditional Persian street performance. This is puppet theatre for the older grades.
