Search for "I Want My Hat Back" began in September when the book was published. It was also reviewed on Wired's GeekDad and has a TV Tropes page.ĭerivatives of the original were shared via the Tumblr tag "I Want My Hat Back." The Doctor Who and TF2 versions appeared on The Daily What, Geek, Reddit and Geekosystem. The original book was reviewed by the New York Times on October 12th, 2011 and a month later, was listed as one of the 10 Best Illustrated Books of 2011. The next day, afuturegentleman posted a version in which Professor Layton from the Nintendo DS game series of the same name is looking for his top hat. It was Team Fortress 2 themed, illustrating the story of a Heavy looking for his party hat. The first parody of the book was posted as a part of a reblog of original post by modestmango on November 13th, 2011. The post has since been deleted but the images were archived on Buzzfeed and FunnyJunk. Tumblr user thesulfurandthesigh initially posted a series of images of the book's pages some time in early November, which accumulated over 37,000 notes in a few weeks.
No one will want their cash back.The original book was written and illustrated by Jon Klassen and published on September 27th, 2011. Without sleight of hand an essential transformation took place, as the audience became part of the show. Within minutes there was yelling from the front rows: “the rabbit’s got it”, “it’s over there”. The Time Out critic had a torch shone down his throat. A beaming tot had to prove his anorak was not concealing the bear’s shiny red cone. Hat checks were carried out among the audience.
A gruesome neck-cracking sound rings out – and is met with saucer-eyed calm by an audience whose recommended age is from three upwards.
Red woollen entrails dangle from the jaws of the dim hero. Though Fly Davis’s design, with a patchwork canopy above the stage over the band, looks comfortingly homespun, there is a touch more gore on stage than there is in the enigmatic book. The book and lyrics by Joel Horwood, and Darvill’s jazz-inflected music, with tuba bear footsteps and zippy accordion, amplify the story and give it extra sassiness. Jon Klassen’s short tale of a stolen titfer – elegantly drawn, simply told – takes vividly to the stage in Wils Wilson’s production.
