— ABOUT THE PROJECT

A creation by Gillian Clark (Playwriting, 2020)
An Imago Theatre and Keep Good (Theatre) Company Collaboration 
 

Be carried away in a story that is for the hopeful and the hopeless. Part fairy tale, part gritty-real-life story, Adventures invites us to the roots of the Mother Tree in this time of collective grief, to witness PJ and Wendy on the edge of a life-altering moment. This story poses the question: am I a good enough person to bring a child into this big, sad and beautiful world
