Don’t miss award-winning puppeteers Rick Conte and Richard Medrington in the stage adaptation of French author Jean Giono’s 1953 book The Man Who Planted Trees.

This is a wonderfully inspiring story of a simple man of the land, who moves with his dog to a remote part of France and plants trees in the simplest way possible: 100 in the morning and 100 in the afternoon!  The barren wasteland, where only wild lavender grows, is transformed into a great forest, which rejuvenates the local ecosystem.  A new population of birds and people brings renewed life, proving that the simplest ideas have the most profound effect.

Brought to you by Gardner and Wife, it will be staged at The Actors Studio, Bangsar from 7 - 19 October.
