Good. Very good. Oryon, age 7

I loved it. I thought the script was excellent – the dog was funny and the puppets and props were amazing. But what was really good, you could tell that the man made it true and wonderful and made a picture in your mind. Excellent. I would definitely recommend it!!! Ashlan, age 8

Successfully combines the sounds and scents of hot Provençal summers, with a shade of tragedy and an irreverent canine comedian ... a fertile swathe of hilarity in this green and pleasant piece of theatre. TimeOut ***** 5 Stars, Critics' Choice
