Finding himself alone and far from home, he crosses paths with the mysterious Mr. H, who leads young Ernst on an adventure “fraught with danger, hunger, and uncertainty” to bring the boy back home. Told with the help of an original music score and impressive stage effects, this play based on a true story is an inspiring work of art. Recommended for ages eight and up.
