…A magical new story for children aged four and over, their families and friends
Written by Peter Wynne Willson; Music by Park Young Ju; Design by Olly Shapley
The fruit on the Kam Tree is the best in the whole world. The musical magpie who lives high in its branches knows that — everybody does. But no-one has ever remembered how the beautiful fruit first appeared — until now…
Many years ago, there was no tree here — just a house, a yard and a boy with a very sick mother. Then came the tiger — and as the boy had to learn not to be scared and make friends with everyone’s sworn enemy, things began to change.
Moby Duck’s latest Korean collaboration mixes storytelling with physical theatre, live music, puppetry and wild Korean humour in a show that’s as powerful as the tiger, as eye-catching as the sunset over Mount Seorak, and as sharp and sweet as a persimmon from the Kam Tree itself.
