Sound the war-croak, sharpen every claw – the frogs and mice are going to war! A tragedy has struck Breadnibbler, king of the mice, and everyone knows who's to blame: the frogs. Now a battle is coming to the pond, and it's time to pick a side: will you fight for the frogs or the mice? Originally told as an introduction to epic poetry for Ancient Greek children, join our storytellers as they guide you through an interactive adaptation, using traditional storytelling, improvised music and toy-box puppetry.
