Someone Loves You, Mr. Hatch is a puppet play for families, presented by Axis Théâtre in Montreal. It is staged in the Salle Jean-Grimaldi at Théâtre Desjardins, a theatre venue in the city.
About the story
The play follows Mr. Hatch, a lonely man whose days follow the same dull routine. Everything changes on Valentine's Day, when he receives a heart-shaped box of chocolates with a note saying that someone loves him. The gift is anonymous, and the story turns on what a small act of kindness can do to a life that has become monotonous.
What to expect
- A puppet performance, suited to families and young audiences.
- A gentle story about loneliness, routine and the quiet effect of being thought of.
- A show held in a proper theatre hall, so it works as an outing for an afternoon or evening.
Because the play is built around a simple, human story rather than spectacle, it suits visitors who want an easy, warm evening with children or a relaxed night out in the city.
