Leaf By Niggle

Niggle is a painter. Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other things to do. For some time, he has been obsessed with one particular canvas - a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. The painting keeps getting bigger and bigger, but Niggle has a journey to make. He doesn’t want to go, but he cannot get out of it.

Surrounded by ladders, bicycles, easels and heirlooms, Richard Medrington (Jean from The Man Who Planted Trees) recounts JRR Tolkien’s miniature masterpiece, with music specially composed by Karine Polwart.

Suitable for everyone aged 10 and over.
