The Man Who Followed His Legs
Wee Stories
www.weestoriestheatre.org.uk
Written and directed by Iain Johnstone
Design - Claire Halleran
Music & sound design - David Trouton
Video design - Tim Reid
Lighting design - Simon Hayes
Artwork & print design - Iain Craig
A celebration of human resilience, following the story of two Young Scottish coalminers’ experience of World War 1. The death, loss and mayhem of the trenches forces Johnny to follow his legs (and keep on walking) to rediscover a reason for living.
Funny, entertaining and moving, Wee Stories bring their distinctive brand of storytelling to this rich production, based on the involvement of the Hearts football Battalion in the Battle of the Somme in 1916.
The Man who followed his Legs (and kept on walking) recognises the human cost of this and other global conflicts whilst celebrating human resilience and the possibility of recovery from even the most terrible experiences.
Video images, puppetry, music and performance vividly bring alive the enormity of this first global conflict for a new generation of young people.
'Wee Stories’ productions have a knack of opening doors to other worlds, hiding necessary and important information in beautiful narratives that leave you less ignorant, more curious and connected, and feeling all the better for it.' Edinburgh Guide ★★★★
