EDINBURGH FRINGE FOR FAMILIES: The Truth About Trees

We all know that trees are alive. But what if there was a way to tell a tree’s story?

When Alfie’s grandpa reveals that paper, if made correctly, can tell the story of the tree it came from, Alfie isn’t sure whether to believe him.

Once he starts paying attention, he realises that he is the only one listening to the trees. He must spring into action to save the trees from being chopped down and to protect all the animals that live there.

Told using actors, puppets, shadows, and storytelling, The Truth About Trees is a heartwarming story about nature, stories and standing up for what you believe in.

This play was developed through working with schools and young audiences in Aberdeenshire. They helped us to explore what a tree might feel over the hundreds of years that it’s alive as well as the impact that nature has on the lives of people who live nearby.
