THE MAN WHO PLANTED TREES
"I'm
all for giving credit where credit is due, but sometimes one can come
across the odd theatre production that is so good, that it is difficult to conjour up the right words to express one's feelings about
it. Puppet State Theatre Company has put me in this awkward position
with their absolute little gem of a production The Man Who Planted
Trees. "

"Laughs,
heartbreak, war, regeneration, scented breezes, sparkling
wit, the best dog puppet ever. Perfect for children
and grown-ups. Terrific."
"I
doubt whether there is a more enjoyable show on in
London at the moment ... I defy anyone not to enjoy
this"

IS VERY, very rare to find something that appeals

show ..."

"Successfully combines the sounds and scents of hot Provençal summers, with a shade
of tragedy and an irreverent canine comedian ... a fertile swathe of
hilarity in this green and pleasant piece of theatre"
