According to Arthur... tells the story of an lonely old man as he ventures back out into the outside world, to rediscover the exciting, adventurous life he once led - brought to life through PaddleBoat’s imaginative blend of puppetry, play, music, mime and storytelling.
Arthur, an,old man who lives all alone in his attic, never ventures into the outside world; instead he spends all of his time with his friend the moon.
But now, Arthur needs your help!
The clouds have covered the sky and the moon is nowhere to be seen, and without it Arthur’s life suddenly feels empty.
What magical world will we discover?
