The Man Who Planted Trees is a production which tells the true story of Elze'ard Bouffier, a French man who transformed an unused area of countryside into a forest of happiness!

This play was a hilarious—but sometimes sad—mix of inspiring storytelling and wonderful puppetry.

The story tells a tale of a man called Jeane who takes an adventurous journey through war time France. On his way he meets lots of unique people and discovers the wonderful story of "The man who planted trees."

My favourite character was a puppet called Dog. I liked Dog because he was very funny and he was a great friend to Jeane. He told lots of funny jokes that made the audience really laugh.

The scenery, sounds and smells were AMAZING and really add to the atmosphere in the theatre.

I was a bit unsure about the play at first as the flyer didn't catch my eye, however I absolutely loved this play!

If you want a feel good production that will warm your heart, go and see this – five stars for sure!
