An Audience with Dog and Jean (The Man Who Planted Trees)
SISF 2026
(Wed 28 Oct: 2pm)
Puppet State Theatre Company’s The Man Who Planted Trees ran from 2006 to 2022 touring worldwide, clocking up over 1,800 performances telling the story of Elzéard Bouffier and his famously loquacious dog, Dog. Now, to mark the show’s 20th anniversary, Richard Medrington and Rick Conte return to their favourite venue, alongside Puppet State’s Elspeth Murray. Expect reminiscences, audience questions, favourite bits, and touring stories. Pssst - he’s still in the basket!

This year’s Festival explores the rich relationship between storytelling and the natural world through our theme Bird and Beast. Alongside a vibrant programme at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh, storytellers across Scotland bring these tales to life this autumn through the Go Local programme. We proudly celebrate Scotland’s cèilidh tradition with an invitation into the story circle, extending a warm welcome to international guests who share their stories, traditions and contemporary practices alongside Scotland’s own world-class talent. Join us for some unforgettable tales and moments that bring us closer to nature, as we follow the trail of footprints and feathers and let our imagination take flight.
