A comedy about resistance to change, the force of will and our capacity to deal  with anything; based on the life of educationalist Henry Morris, and told with  objects and many of his own words. Morris was the originator of the village  colleges and one of the greatest figures in education in the 20th century. 

The Martin School in Littleport became a village college in 1972. 

When things are hopeless, everything is against you and you’re losing your  faith, it’s time to transform the world. 

“Universal adult education is the one way available by which humanity  can begin to effectively solve its problems and begin to make civilisation  a success.” 

From Henry’s unlikely beginnings in 1900s, his appointment to the poorest  county in England –Cambridgeshire – where rural poverty, malnutrition and  deadly disease were commonplace, to his groundbreaking contribution to the  1944 Education Act. 

This is a tale for community organisers, social activists and anyone who wants to make the world a better place.
