Tell Me A Story
Comedy trio Peepolykus upend classic fiction: in ancient Persia, executioners plot to kidnap a yarn-telling queen. From 2015.
In ancient Persia, the new Queen cheats death by captivating the King with stories.
For almost three years, she's kept the executioners waiting and now they're taking matters into their own hands by hatching a plot to kidnap her.
The comedy troupe Peepolykus assume the roles of minor characters in great works of fiction and derail the plot of the book through their hapless buffoonery.
Written by John Nicholson, Richard Katz and Javier Marzan.
