THE MAN WHO PLANTED TREES

Puppet State Theatre Company (Scotland)


Based on the beloved fable and book by Jean Giono, The Man Who Planted Trees is a unique blend of comedy and puppetry that tells the inspiring tale of a human being who recognized the destruction of our environment, decided not to ignore it, and set out on a mission “to put things right.” In this captivating adaptation, a French shepherd sets out with his dog to plant a forest and transform a barren wasteland. This uplifting and unforgettable story shows us the difference one man (and his dog named Dog) can make in the world.

Jump headfirst into a chain reaction of absolute unbridled silliness, outlandish chases and the most chaotic finale ever seen with three former stars of Ringling Brothers and the Moscow Circus.
