The Book of Everything ; the play

by Richard Tulloch (Adapted by), Guus Kuijer

Thomas is nine and he's started writing a book. His father says all important books are about God. Even so, Thomas writes down all the interesting things he sees that other people seem to ignore: tropical fish in the canal, a deluge of frogs, the Son of God popping in for a chat...

He also writes down his greatest determination: When I grow up, I'm going to be happy.

Featuring Jesus, the angels, the Bumbiter, the startling Mrs van Amerfoort and a beautiful girl with a leather leg, this is a totally magical story about a child learning to act when faced with fear and wrong.

Adapted for stage and translated by Richard Tulloch, from the novel by Guus Kuijer.
