The Book Of Everything at Belvoir St Theatre tickets
About The Book Of Everything
One of the all-time most-loved Belvoir shows is back!
Thomas isn’t an ordinary 9 year-old – he can see the extraordinary. Things other people don’t seem to see: canals bursting with tropical fish, hailstorms in summer, plagues of hopping frogs. He draws them all in his book, The Book of Everything. And in that book he also writes a promise to himself:
When I grow up, I’m going to be happy.
For his stern and serious-minded Papa, the only books that matter are about God. Thomas’ young misunderstandings are met with punishment instead of laughter. But when Papa attacks Thomas’ beloved Mamma, he has definitely gone too far. Even angels weep.
And there’s more to Thomas’ Everything – he befriends the startling Mrs van Amersfoort and meets Eliza, a beautiful girl with a creaky leather leg. A good-humoured Jesus even occasionally drops in for a chat.
