| Peter's father, Vladimir, has been sent to Tibet to make a documentary film just as the nation is being invaded by the Chinese. Separated from his party, Vladimir must trek alone to the capital of Lhasa while his angry and injured son struggles to bring his father to life through his fantastical letters. Will father and son ever be reunited? A fictional and mythical retelling of Peter Sis' boyhood experience in 1950s Prague, based on his acclaimed book. |

| "To say this is as good as children's theatre gets actually understates the achievement here. This is the kind of show that starts children on a lifetime of theatre-going, and that's important." |
