Aesop's fables - South African style
Aesop's fables have delighted and educated children and adults for more than 2,500 years.
Now the ancient Greek moral tales told through animal characters have taken a new life at the Hackney Empire stage in London thanks to a series of performances by South Africa's multi-award winning theatre company Isango Ensemble.
The Cape Town-based company also presented two other European premieres: La Boheme and The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.
Journalist Anna Borzello went along to see Aesop's Fables and sent this report to the BBC Network Africa programme.
