"Many thousands of years ago, when the night was weaving her tapestry of stars over the sacred land of Tibet, Mantao, the jester-king, was born in a lotus flower." MK Exciting, gripping and hilarious “Mantao the Jester King” is a beguiling fable with a strong allegorical theme. With a host of colourful characters such as the Man with the Elephant Ears, the wicked Princess Amaranth, Hanu the Monkey (not to mention Mantao himself), it made for a wonderfully vibrant stage production and charmed literally everyone who saw it!
