The newest work in progress by Drama of Works

(with help from Rachel Carson, Tom Cade, T.S. Eliot, Hans Christian Andersen, and others)

​

Coming fall of 2026 - our newest Henson award-winning production "The Falcon King." All puppets are made using only found, natural, and recycled materials. We hope this piece will inspire humanity to take better care of nature and each other.

​

The frogs tried to warn them, but when the birds' babies all start dying panic ensues and they don't know who's to blame or who to turn to. Are those mysterious canisters with three letters on them that starting showing up in the forest to blame? Will the King help save them or sit idly by, watching from his castle on the hill? In a world where humans have declared war on their main food source, the birds are left hoping they can find a miracle. Will humans learn from their arrogance or damn the birds to extinction?
