The Book of Everything

$23.99

Thomas is nine and he's started writing a book. His father says all important books are about God. Even so, Thomas writes down all the interesting things he sees that other people seem to ignore: tropical fish in the canal, a deluge of frogs, the Son of God popping in for a chat...

He also writes down his greatest determination: When I grow up, I'm going to be happy.

Featuring Jesus, the angels, the Bottombiter, the startling Mrs Van Amersfoort and a beautiful girl with a leather leg, this is a totally magical story about a child learning to act when faced with fear and injustice.

PRODUCTION HISTORY

REVIEW: THE BOOK OF EVERYTHING

FRANK SCHECK, NEW YORK POST, 20 APRIL 2012

"This award-winning Aussie production imported by the New Victory Theater is based on a Dutch novel set in 1951 Amsterdam. It tells the story of 9-year-old Thomas, who records his thoughts in a diary he calls â€œThe Book of Everything.â€ And Thomas has a lot of material. His religious-fanatic father regularly beats his mother, and browbeats him and his sister. And Thomas is hopelessly in love with his sisterâ€™s best friend, Eliza, who has an artificial leg that squeaks when she moves."
