One of the beloved poetic works in children’s literature, created by prominent author Khanimana Alibeyli, is the fairy-tale poem “The Rabbit’s Birthday”.
The play has recently been added to our theatre’s repertoire.
The stage adaptation and direction were done by Saida Hagverdiyeva, with set design by Rena Abasova, music composed by Honored Artist Vugar Jamalzade, and lyrics written by Sevinj Nuruqizi.
While preserving the main idea of the piece, the play is presented with vibrant staging and a rich musical arrangement.
The story unfolds in a forest. Despite numerous attempts, the Wolf fails to catch the Rabbit to eat him. One day, the news spreads through the forest that the Rabbit's birthday is coming up. Hearing this, the Wolf and the Fox plot together and decide to wait for the celebration. The Rabbit, Hedgehog, Puppy, Kid, Lamb, and Swallow always stick together and help one another. Realizing the Wolf and Fox’s trickery, these small animals decide that the only way to survive is to unite and defeat the two predators. Together, they manage to overcome the Wolf and the Fox. In the end, friendship and honesty triumph.
