Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and girls of any age!
Acclaimed performer, and playwright Eric Woolfe in his marvellous play for solo actor, puppets, and the most spectacular circus of trained fleas.
“Little creatures can do Amazing Things.”
Buster is small for his age, shy, bullied, and overwhelmed by the world around him. His life changes when meets a mysterious old man who was, in his younger days, the star of Signor Bertolotto & His Industrious Fleas, a genuine flea circus that traveled the world to great renown and acclaim.
In addition, children will learn some simple but fascinating scientific facts about the flea, glean insight into life in Canada near the turn of the last century, and be introduced to the story of Louis Bertolotto (1802-1887), a real-life celebrity all but forgotten in the present day.
