Jacob Two-Two may be the smallest member of his family, but when a misunderstanding lands him in a children’s prison ruled by the fearsome Hooded Fang, he discovers that courage can come from the unlikeliest places. Battling villains, outwitting grown-ups and leading a daring rebellion against the Hooded Fang’s reign of terror, Jacob transforms from an overlooked younger brother into a full-blown hero. This world premiere musical brings Mordecai Richler’s cherished story to life, offering a joyful introduction for a new generation of fans and a nostalgic return to a treasured Canadian favourite.
