A
captivating adaptation of Jean Giono's environmental
cult classic. A French shepherd sets out with his
dog to plant a forest and transform a barren wasteland.
Hear the wind, feel the rain, smell the lavender in
this multi-sensory theatrical delight.
A
unique blend of comedy, puppetry and inspiring storytelling.
An unforgettable story that shows us the difference
one man (and his dog!) can make to the world.
"IT
IS VERY, very rare to find something that appeals
as effortlessly to children and adults as this magical
show ..."

"Laughs,
heartbreak, war, regeneration, scented breezes, sparkling
wit, the best dog puppet ever. Perfect for children
and grown-ups. Terrific."
