A 1927 and Burgtheater Vienna co-production presents

Please Right Back

Tue 29 - Wed 30 Oct, 2024 Archive
Combining handcrafted animation and bold storytelling, Please Right Back sweeps audiences into a magical, mischievous world, inspired by a true story.

The new show from multi-award-winning company 1927.

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. 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.

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.
