    The Red Tree

    by multi award-winning writer Shaun Tan

    Sometimes the day begins with nothing to look forward to. You’re not sure what to do next or where to go…

    The Red Tree follows one child’s journey through what seems an unfriendly world. But it’s okay, there are helpers everywhere, hidden in plain sight, ready with their wise words and healing ways.

    A joyful, funny and warm play about tricky feelings and how to manage them.

    This stand-out, online production by Red Earth Theatre blends live music and song, puppets and dance. Our creative access – integrated sign language and songs, captioning and projections – adds to the playfulness and zing of the production.

    Sometimes it’s hard to put feelings into words. That’s why we have stories.
