In the spirit of Company B Belvoir’s The Small Poppies, Neil Armfield puts his big short pants on again for a special presentation of The Book of Everything.
Thomas is nine and he’s started writing a book. His father says all important books are about God. Even so, Thomas writes down all the interesting things he sees that other people seem to ignore: tropical fish in the canal, a deluge of frogs, the Son of God popping in for a chat …
He also writes down his greatest determination: When I grow up, I’m going to be happy.
Featuring Jesus, the angels, the Bottombiter, the startling Mrs Van Amersfoort and a beautiful girl with a leather leg, this is a totally magical story about a child learning to act when faced with fear and wrong. Acclaimed children’s author Guus Kuijer’s magnificently humble story grabs your heart, challenges your mind, and makes you laugh, no matter how old you are.
Theatre of Image and some of Company B’s finest are playing together: Peter Carroll’s Father, Deb Kennedy is Aunty Pie, Matt Whittet’s Thomas and John Leary is Our Lord.
