Brageteatret wrote the following, among other things, in a text about the production:
"Once upon a time, there was a little man. He was a very lonely little man. Nobody cared about him though he was ever so kind and sweet. They found he looked silly.
One day during spring he went out to hang posters on the trees. 'Little lonely man seeks a friend', he wrote on the posters. And he wrote his name and where he lived.
A performance rich in music, ambience and emotion - simple, pure and almost without words - the beautiful and slightly sad story about the lonely man and the dog without a master, who both so dearly want to find a friend to share their pains and smiles and cookies with.
A theatre production about deep and sincere friendship - and with a lot of hope!"
