Visit a magical and mischievous world

This Christmas, award-winning theatre company 1927 will bring their acclaimed new show Please Right Back to the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room for its London Premiere. 

Mr E has disappeared! When he writes to his children to tell them what’s happened, his imagination takes over… and sweeps us all along on a whirlwind adventure. Combining handcrafted animation and bold storytelling, Please Right Back sweeps audiences into a magical, mischievous world, inspired by a true story.

A family show combining handcrafted animation and bold storytelling, Please Right Back sweeps audiences into a magical and mischievous world. 

Inspired by a true story, 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. This wild adventure story has received critical acclaim since premiering in Edinburgh in August.
