Temerity Theatre is pleased to announce that Ed Malin's play American Jataka Tales will be part of the 13th Annual New York International Fringe Festival in August, 2009. Mark Duncan will direct. The show will star Ugo Chukwu, John Calvin Kelly, Adrienne Sale and Susan Slotoroff..
From ancient India, the Jataka are stories about the past lives of the Buddha. Many stories involve animals (and are old enough to have been the inspiration for Aesop's Fables). We see characters learning lessons which they can apply to their future lives. American Jataka Tales is a humorous version of these stories featuring centuries of Americans.
