Tucked away in his quiet attic, and surround by books, he never goes outside.

He is never lonely – tucked away inside his stories are his friends – his characters.

But one day he realises that if he has never been out into the world himself, how can his stories be real?

So he sets them out into the world as little balloons in the hope they will find a home.

“With its themes of friendship, empathy and overcoming isolation, I am sure the show will resonate with regional audience,’’ Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman said.

WHAT: Bambert’s Book of Lost Stories

WHERE: Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.

WHEN: Tuesday (6.30pm) and Wednesday (11pm and 6.30pm), June 26 and 27.
