Fish and the Ring is an English folktale.  The story that you read  differs a little from the play that you will see today.  The play is an adaptation of the folktale and the adapter made some changes to be able to make it more interesting to the audience.  The play will tell the same story but with additional characters to interact with the audience.

The play Fish and the Ring is about choices, and how these choices affect the future.  Every day you make choices.  Your decisions help decide what happens to you.  You can choose to play kickball, or sit on a bench and read a book.  Some choices are easy to make, but some choices are much harder. Your everyday decisions help shape your future.  What are some of the choices that you've made recently?  Were they easy or were they hard choices?  What would or could happen if you made a different choice?  After the performance you can decide about the choices made by the Baron, Isabella and Sivio.
Are there lessons to learn from some of the choices that were made?
