Reconnect with Mark Twain's incomparable classic in a magical new production, perfect for the whole family. In idyllic 1840s Missouri, Tom and his friends revel in all that is grand and glorious in childhood. This mischievous rascal can charm his Aunt Polly, save the town from Injun Joe and win the heart of fair Becky Thatcher, all in the course of one small-town day. Filled with Mark Twain's wit, lots of heart and great joy, this new adaptation is filled with unbridled enthusiasm, physicality and fun, as well as depth and meaning.
