SCOTTISH PREMIERE
Award-winning company 1927 combines fantastical animations with bold storytelling to tell the wild adventures of the mysterious Mr E.
Award-winning company 1927 returns to the International Festival with their new production, following acclaimed Festival performances Roots and The Magic Flute.
Combining handcrafted animation and bold storytelling, Please right back sweeps audiences into a magical, mischievous world, inspired by the writer-director's own childhood.
When Kim and Davey’s dad, Mr E, disappears, letters become his only means of communication. Imagination takes over as Mr E writes to his children to tell a creative version of traumatic events. Reality collides with fantasy, as we travel on a fast-paced journey through his wild adventure stories. Mr E’s letters are staged using song, dance, and absurd, subversive animations, as his stories become a kind of game between him and his children – a cathartic release in the face of distress.
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.
a poetic, visually stunning and surprising evening
