Drury University's Theatre Department will present The Wolf and its Shadows October 1-4 at the Wilhoit Theatre.
7:30 p.m. (Saturday matinee at 2 p.m., followed by regular show at 7:30)
In the forest at night, Wolf and Dog encounter stories from around the world, contrasting wolf images in legend and nature. Traveling toward Dog's home, where Wolf intends to seek employment, the two meet a hunter, a priest, and a shepherd, each of whom spins a tale of the evil wolf's foolishness and greed. Wolf responds with very different stories of her own. By dawn, she and Dog understand the high price of freedom. With respect for one another, they choose their separate ways.
The Wolf and Its Shadows by Sandra Fenichel Asher, directed by student, Morgan Ivision.
