This is based on the short story by Leo Tolstoy, transliterated into a two-act puppet play by Joel Orr, commissioned by DiverseWorks. This is Bobbindoctrin’s first tabletop puppet production.

Ivan the Fool has two brothers, Semon the Soldier and Taras the Great Belly, and a sister, Malanya the Deaf-Mute. The Old Devil tries to muck up the brothers’ interactions to cause conflict and evil, but nothing can corrupt the affable Ivan.
