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 family goes 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 head out into the wide world in search of sunshine and their own island. Accompanied by a toy duck rescued from a rubbish bin, the brave travelling companions escape into the urban jungle. On their perilous journey, they will 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 ultimately convinced that this exciting and educational 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 gives us plenty of both.
