This world premiere adaptation based on the international bestseller A Little History of the World.

How do we protect the ones we love the most, when their world is imploding? 

Germany, early 1930s. Using a mix of will, humour and imagination a father tells his son stories to help him escape from the building tension in their homeland. Shared around a kitchen table over a family dinner, or whispered under the covers before bedtime, these stories transport his son to a world a little less frightening. 

A true celebration of the power of storytelling based on E. H. Gombrich’s international bestseller. This enchanting world-premiere adaptation will show how the smallest of stories have the biggest of legacies on the ones we hold most dear. 

Age Guidance: 12+
