Part social realism, part science fiction with a healthy dose of mischief and a dash of dystopia, Please right back is a eulogy to the power of the imagination, storytelling and make-believe.

Kim and Davey’s dad, Mr E, has disappeared. When Mr E writes to his children to tell them what has happened, his imagination takes over, and reality collides with fantasy as they travel on a fast-paced journey through his wild adventure stories.

A poignant coming-of-age story, Please right back explores the difficulties children go through when a parent leaves the family while celebrating the power of the imagination to overcome hardship. Using song, dance, and absurd, subversive animations, this uniquely memorable show is inventive, mischievous and moving and sure to delight both children and adults alike.

Suitable for ages 10+.
