1927: Please right back

Combining handcrafted animation and bold storytelling, join award-winning theatre company 1927 and dive into a magical and mischievous world, inspired by a true story.

Kim and Davey’s dad, Mr E, has disappeared. When Mr E writes to his children to tell them what has happened, his imagination takes over. Reality collides with fantasy, as we travel on a fast-paced journey through his wild adventure stories. Mr E’s letters are staged using song, dance, and absurd, subversive animations, as his stories become a kind of game between him and his children – a cathartic release in the face of distress.

Please right back explores the difficulties children go through when a parent leaves the family while celebrating the power of the imagination to overcome hardship. 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.

1927 is a prescribed practitioner on A and AS level Drama and Theatre syllabus. A full education pack with trailers, images, credits, interviews and insights will be available to download HERE from September 2024.
