The Fir Tree

I want to know what the other trees know

Go where the other trees go

Where do they go?



Writer Hannah Khalil collaborates with Shakespeare's Globe in London in this magical re-imagining and re-wilding of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale The Fir Tree.



Written for just four actors this inventive and dynamic adaptation harnesses all of the joy of the Christmas season and reminds us that we can all make a difference in taking care of our planet. Music, song and storytelling combine in this accessible and enchanting adaptation that is suitable for families and young people to perform and read together in a story of hope.
