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"
