The Man Who Planted Trees
★★★★★ Witty and enchanting:
In a world full of fear and worry, we all need a reminder that there’s still hope. Luckily, in The Man Who Planted Trees at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, two storytellers and their puppets are here to give us just that.
Leaf by Niggle
★★★★☆ Imaginative:
Richard Medrington and the Puppet State Theatre Company bring a charming staging of Tolkien’s minor work Leaf by Niggle to the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
Leaf by Niggle – junior review
★★★★★ Amazing:
Niggle is a painter. He is an unsuccessful painter. He is an unsuccessful painter because he has his mind set on only one thing – a picture of a tree.
Review – The Man Who Planted Trees
★★★★★ Beautiful, entertaining morality tale:
With simple but elegant staging and charming puppets and puppetry, Puppet State Theatre Company presents a genuinely touching and engrossing adaptation of Jean Giono’s novel.
