Reviews
"Laughs, heartbreak, regeneration, scented breezes, sparkling wit, the best dog puppet ever. Terrific."
- The Guardian
“Puppet State Theatre’s adaptation of the French author Jean Giono’s 1953 story L’homme qui plantait des arbres is one of the most touching and effective pieces of children’s theatre I’ve seen for a long time. In fact, it’s the most completely satisfying piece of theatre playing in Sydney right now.”
-Sydney Morning Herald
“Puppet State Theatre Company, has become a giant in the world of theatre for young audiences because of its clever combination of puppetry, storytelling, choreography and multi-sensory engagement.”
-Culture Map Austin
“IT IS VERY, very rare to find something that appeals as effortlessly to children and adults as this magical show …”
-Scotsman, 5 Stars
“One of the most entrancing 60 minutes you will find in any theatre… A little gem of a theatrical experience.”
