The Kam Tree
A magical new story for children aged four and over, their families and friends
Written by Peter Wynne Willson
Music by Park Young Ju
Design by Olly Shapley

The fruit on the Kam Tree is the best in the whole world. The musical magpie who lives high in its branches knows that — everybody does. But no-one has ever remembered how the beautiful fruit first appeared — until now…
Many years ago, there was no tree here — just a house, a yard and a boy with a very sick mother. Then came the tiger — and as the boy had to learn not to be scared and make friends with everyone’s sworn enemy, things began to change.
Moby Duck’s latest Korean collaboration mixes storytelling with physical theatre, live music, puppetry and wild Korean humour in a show that’s as powerful as the tiger, as eye-catching as the sunset over Mount Seorak, and as sharp and sweet as a persimmon from the Kam Tree itself.

Saira’s a wild child with a big secret.At the front of dad’s boat is a special place. Sit there — go under ancient bridges — close your eyes — and wish. You’ll always come out into the time and place you’ve chosen; but what happens once you’re there is never easy to control — and almost never what you want …Saira’s journey catapults her through four centuries, during which she learns to handle a shire horse — foils the wages snatch of the century — and persuades James Brindley to dig a mile of canal a foot deeper to save a horse he’s never met.The Wishing Bridge blends storytelling with South Asian dance, puppetry, live music and wild digitally generated projections in Moby Duck’s unique, unmissable performance style.
