Swallow dreams of the return of her mother. Candy has invented the myth for herself that paradise lies at the end of the freeway. Amos wants to escape the fate of his father working in the oil refinery. Boone dreams of a better life for his motherless kids. Suddenly, a mysterious man appears in Swallows barn; a kind of mythological Jesus figure who becomes the catalyst for change in the whole community. Whilst Swallow and the local kids are rejoicing about the second coming, the rest of the town is hunting down a dangerous convict.

Following on from last years spectacular production of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Kings Company presents Whistle Down The Wind, a musical which manages to combine epic themes love, redemption and forgiveness with intimate storytelling and a string of award-winning songs, including the Boyzone No 1 hit No Matter What.
