An inspiring play for tumultuous times
A young girl feels confused and adrift in a world she doesn’t understand. As she journeys
through strange and familiar landscapes, wonderful things are passing her by and she thinks
she has nothing to look forward to. But like a sunburst, the power of imagination breaks
through and the girl discovers a world of beauty, hope and endless possibility.
Sometimes it’s hard to put feelings into words
The Red Tree is a gentle, sensitive and uplifting play about feelings and how to deal with
them. However hard things may seem, hope is waiting to meet you, just as you always
imagined it would be.
A play that goes straight to the heart
