  Magical, entrancing and very very funny 15 Aug 2006 
reviewer: FW Warburton, United Kingdom

This is a marvellous show - for children and adults alike. With a beautiful set and wonderfully creative puppets and props, it was an utterly absorbing performance. We didn't have a child to take along, but still had a glorious time, and laughed til our sides hurt. The two actors combined stunning effects with poignancy, powerful drama and high comedy. Steal a ticket if you have to.

This is a lovely, enthralling and uplifting piece, both comical and serious, and beautifully presented. A real work of art delivered by true professionals. We went as a group of friends aged between 5 and 80, and we all loved it!

Not only the best thing I have seen this year, but the best thing I have seen at the Fringe ever! The puppets are loveable (dog) and evocative (farmer), the smells a nice touch and the whole manages to be both funny and emotionally compelling.

Storytelling Centre is a beautiful building and this is a beautiful story told beautifully by two gentle men - and a dog. Your kids will love it - and you will too.
