We'll be seeing the 11.50am performance of The Man Who Planted Trees by Richard Medrington, Rick Conte and Ailie Cohen A French shepherd sets out with his dog to plant a forest and transform a barren wasteland one acorn at a time in this charming tale from Puppet State Theatre Company of Scotland. Hear the wind, feel the rain and smell the lavender in this multi-sensory theatrical delight. Based on Jean Giono’s short story, this play is a unique blend of comedy and puppetry. It is an inspiring, ecologically-oriented tale of a human being who saw a need and decided not to ignore it but “to put things right.” This uplifting and unforgettable story shows us the difference one man (and his dog!) can make in the world. Back for a second North American tour, this captivating show is the winner of the Eco Trust’s Eco Prize for Creativity 2007, the Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2008, and most recently the Best Children’s Show at the 2009 Brighton Fringe Festival.
