Robert Fulghum’s observations about life simply and kindly and with a sense of wonder. What would happen if adults followed the same rules that they expect little children to obey, like say, about sharing, or being kind to one another, or even cleaning up after themselves? This stage adaptation is primarily a story-telling piece comprised of stories from Robert Fulgham's five best-selling books, told simply, honestly and with humour.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
• It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It
• Uh-Oh
• Maybe, Maybe Not
• From Beginning to End

What we learn in kindergarten will come up again and again in our lives -- albeit in far more complex and polysyllabic forms. We will wrestle with questions of right and wrong, good and bad, truth and lies. Again and again we will come round to the place where we came in -- to that room where the elemental notions of the human enterprise were handed to us with great care when we were young -- the kindergarten.
