More About Emil and the Detectives - Kastner's Plucky Young Detective Takes Over the Stage

This incredible production transforms the National Theatre's Olivier stage into a convincing portrayal of 1920's Berlin. Fatherless young schoolboy Emil has been brought up by his hairdressing mother who has saved up a month's salary in order to send her son to his grandmother with some money. After embarking on his journey our innocent protagonist is persuaded into eating a bar of chocolate from the suspicious Herr Grundeis and upon awakening finds that his grandmother's money (and his fare home) have disappeared! And so begins our pint-sized hero's perilous journey across Berlin to hunt down and retrieve his funds. Luckily he's not alone and with the help of his new friend Gustav and "the detectives", the band of children set about tracking down Grundeis and bringing justice to the plucky protagonist.

Perfectly capturing the adrenaline-fuelled, adventurous spirit of childhood, this wonderful production from the National Theatre will entertainer theatre goers both young and old with its inescapably charming storyline and lovable hero.
