If you had one chance to achieve your dream, what would you do? Long ago in Persia lived Barbad the musician, who dreamed of playing before the king. Blocked by a jealous rival, Barbad's solution was simple: hide up in a tree and wait for the king to arrive! This 1,000 year old story is magically brought to life by Claire Ewart, and proves that all good things come to those who wait.
