This strange, touching and uplifting story - written to be enacted entirely by adults - is engaging and theatrically innovative, as one has come to expect from the ever popular Jimmie Chinn, author of Straight and Narrow.
Albert Nuttall, aged eleven - some would say he is backward and at first glance you'd agree - but Albert is special. He is a poet and a visionary who, as he grows to manhood, inspires unexpected depths of emotion in other people, notably his classmate Primrose, whose glorious future as an actress fails to materialise, and the lost and lonely young schoolteacher, Janet Partington.
Presented by Ellerslie Theatrical Society Inc. Written by Jimmie Chinn. Directed by Kevin Murray.
