The tall and unannounced Maine man appears in a seemingly ordinary 1960's English living room. He is the high chaperone and bringer of a grandmother who has not seen her stamp-collecting son for decades; her grandchildren, never. His reuniting job done, this curious visitor hands the children each a ten-dollar bill says his goodbyes and is gone - off up the suburban street, into the evening and perhaps a hotel in the town centre on his horse. (A hobby horse, in fact, given him by one of the children).
The show contains a good deal of yet-to-be-published material alongside some back catalogue favourites.
Devised for adults but not unsuitable for the odd nine-year-old. Drawings will be provided. But not biscuits.
