Theatre fun: The Way Back Home

This October and November, Gardner & Wife Theatre brings The Way Back Home to our shores, a family-friendly production that is set to enthral the kids and entertain their adult fellow space travellers. Direct from the UK and adapted by The Big Wooden Horse Theatre Company from the multi-award winning book of the same name by Oliver Jeffers, it is the story of an unlikely friendship between a boy and a Martian.

A short synopsis of the show: One day, a boy finds an aeroplane in his cupboards and takes it to for a ride to space. He whizzes through stars and planets, but all of a sudden, he runs out of petrol! Miles from earth, the boy crashes into the moon and waits. Just as he begins to feel cold and lonely, a friendly Martian appears from the darkness, also with a broken aircraft. Together they come up with a super plan to float the boy back down to earth to collect his toolbox. Can the boy find his way back up to the moon to rescue his friend?
