The Man who followed his Legs (and kept on walking) is a celebration of human resilience, following the story of two Young Scottish coalminers’ experience of the First World War. 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, Edinburgh-based Wee Stories Theatre Company bring their distinctive brand of story-telling to this poignant production, based on the involvement of the Heart of Midlothian football Battalion in the Battle of the Somme in 1916.
The production 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.
