Britain's What's On Event Guide
1927 - Please right back
Combining handcrafted animation and bold storytelling, Please right back sweeps audiences into a magical, 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. Part social realism, part science fiction with animation, live action, a filmic soundscape, and song Please Right Back is a eulogy to the power of the imagination and the use of storytelling and make believe to get through difficulties.
