Reynard the Fox is back and ready to take the animal kingdom by storm! After being falsely accused of many crimes, Reynard the Fox once again is required to show face at King Noble the Lion’s court. With many enemies present at court, Reynard faces an unfair trial. However, a fox is a wise beast, and he cleverly reveals a secret to the king of a cave full of treasures. Is it a trick or the truth? Through the wits of Reynard, his unusual friendships with Grimbert the Badger and Cuwaert the Hare and his bravery, we discover the meaning of a true hero. The trickery Reynard has in store for the greedy animals of the kingdom, is a timeless treasure.


This exciting anthology series stage production is inspired by Aesop’s fables called Reynard the Fox. The What Did The Fox Say? Series brings new life to these timeless characters, using multiple puppetry techniques and multi-mediums in a clever and playful way, which will amuse audiences of all ages.   An initiative sponsored by Dept. Of Sports, Arts & Culture and The Drama Factory.



Audience Responses

The little ones enjoyed it but the dialogue was too high brow and long-winded to keep their attention. Often you could not hear what the characters were saying. Less dialogue and more talking/engaging directly with the children perhaps would work better. Will definitely return to watch another show though.

The kids say they want to go again and enjoyed colouring in at home. Will definitely plan to be more on time next time and stay after. They each had their favourite. Still sad we missed the first. Looking forward to the next installment.

The children loved the different characters and were fascinated. I think the interaction with the audience is a great asset. I think it was a great performance.
