There once was a boy...

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY ROBERT LLOYD

A boy is stranded at sea. A storm bears down on him, and, in what he believes are his final moments, he ponders his life and the choice he made to come here—to explore what’s over the curious horizon—and wonders:

Was this a mistake?

There once was a boy… is a fun, poetic performance for tweens, teens and their whānau.

This live “pop-up book” explores curiosity, courage, and finding light in the darkness.
