THE MAN WHO PLANTED TREES

"It is very, very rare to find something that appeals as effortlessly to children and adults as this magical show"
* * * * * The Scotsman

This is the stage adaptation of Jean Giono’s environmental cult classic – an inspiring blend of comedy, puppetry which tells the story of a French shepherd who sets out with his dog to transform a bleak landscape. Performed by Richard Medrington (previously at The Gate with his Winnie the Pooh shows) and Rick Conte, this show has been touring non-stop to festivals and theatre across the UK and abroad.

"Gob smackingly brilliant. I saw children laughing, parents and grandparents laughing, I was laughing, my friends (in their twenties) were laughing. This show is worth more than five stars"
Edinburgh Fringe website review

Suitable over 7s (though most 5s and 6s will love it too)

Running time: 55 minutes
