About THE SHOW

All he has to do is jump off the train, hand a perfectly innocent briefcase to a man called Jones, and get back to his family in time for tea. Easy peasy. 

 But the journey doesn’t stop there, neither do the stories.

 I’ll probably have to help, which is fine, because I have a waterproof coat, a beer and some Babybels. I’m ready for anything. 

 Except perhaps the truth.

 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.

 

LEARNING GUIDE

Please right back is accompanied by a comprehensive Learning Guide, designed to support students, teachers, and aspiring theatre makers in their engagement with the show and the work of 1927.
