The Sultan’s Wife

Music and comedy are prevalent in The Sultan’s Wife, an adaptation of a Swahili folktale that teaches the value of communication within relationships. This engaging fable is sure to keep both children and adults laughing as they find themselves empathizing with a hapless sultan, his too-smart servant and a poor man who knows the secret to keeping those around him happy. Communication is a skill needed by children today, more than ever, and by looking back to ancient African wisdom they will gain a greater understanding of its importance.
