John Glore’s delightful stage adaptation of Flora & Ulysses springs to life with humor, heart, and just the right touch of superhero magic. Based on Kate DiCamillo’s beloved novel, the story follows comic book loving Flora Buckman, whose quiet afternoon is turned upside down when a vacuum cleaner accident transforms a neighborhood squirrel into Ulysses—a poetry writing, nut loving superhero with remarkable powers. Together, Flora and her unlikely friend embark on an adventure filled with comic mishaps, eccentric adults, and surprising acts of bravery, all while discovering what it truly means to believe. Joyful and imaginative, the play gently explores themes of hope, empathy, and the courage to open one’s heart. With its playful tone, whimsical characters, and uplifting message about friendship and self confidence, Flora & Ulysses is a perfect theatrical experience for families and young audiences—a charming reminder that even the smallest heroes can change the world.
