| Synopsis: | "Friendship should be treasured. It is the greatest thing in the world." What makes a good friend? Little Hans's best friend is Hugh the Miller but while Hans is happy to share all the lovely flowers and fruit from his garden, Hugh isn't quite so generous with his own things. Join three lively characters as they explore the ups and downs of friendship in this new play for the very young. From the same artistic team that brought you The Selfish Giant and The Happy Prince, comes this third enchanting adaptation in the Oscar Wilde trilogy. Ordinary objects and materials will be transformed through music and puppetry, play and imagination to create a beautiful environment for a classic story. | |||||
