The Best Holiday for Garden Gnomes – Rakvere Theatre / Salme Main Hall

A children’s play by the author of the popular “Gingerbread Man.” One beautiful day, when the household leaves on holiday, two charming garden gnomes have had enough. How long can you stand in a garden looking pretty? While the people are away, they decide to set off into the wide world in search of the sun and their own island. Accompanied by a toy duck rescued from a rubbish bin, the brave travellers flee to the urban jungle. On their perilous journey, they need good advice, nimble feet and help from the new friends they meet along the way. And although nothing goes as expected, the gnomes are finally convinced that this exciting and instructive holiday trip was the best of their lives… After all, even a little garden gnome needs warmth and care above all else—and this story offers plenty of both.
