Puppet State Theatre Company’s The Man Who Planted Trees ran from 2006 to 2022 touring worldwide, clocking up over 1,800 performances telling the story of Elzéard Bouffier and his famously loquacious dog, Dog. Now, to mark the show’s 20th anniversary, Richard Medrington and Rick Conte return to their favourite venue, alongside Puppet State’s Elspeth Murray. Expect reminiscences, audience questions, favourite bits, and touring stories. Pssst - he’s still in the basket!
