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. 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 ." The Scotsman -- www.yorktheatreroyal.co.uk
