The Show
Androcles is a slave who is abused by his master, Pantalone. Androcles is 
trying to help two young lovers , Isabella and Lelio. In order to make sure 
that his niece will not run off with her boyfriend, Pantalone hires the 
Captain to guard her. Androcles outwits the Captain and helps the lovers to 
elope. In the forest, Androcles encounters the Lion who is limping from a 
thorn in its paw. Androcles does the good deed of removing the thorn and is 
rewarded by the Lion's help in escaping his master. With lots of chases and 
roaring and tricks, the play is a riot. It is best suited for children ages 4
