A tender and imaginative theatre piece about grief and memory, loosely based on the children's book by Kim Fupz Aakeson. When Esben loses his grandfather, the adults around him offer explanations that don't quite fit. One night, Grandpa turns up sitting on Esben's chest of drawers, staring into the dark, and Esben begins to build his own story about what has happened.
The production treats death with openness and humour, and puts the good memories we keep at the centre. It is aimed at children aged 4 to 9.
