The Last Woodwose
A new play by Suffolk writer Thea Smiley. Facing extinction, the last Woodwose, a wild woman of the woods, tells the extraordinary story of her life through shapeshifting, storytelling and magic, and reveals the origin of the legendary Green Children.
The Last Woodwose weaves fact with fantasy in a magical, mythical tale illuminating the life-blood and wonders of the forest: the woodwose herself is its guardian.
Starring Hilary Greatorex, Rosalind Burt and Huw Brentnall, with traditional
songs and original music by Sylvia Hallett. Directed by Alys Kihl.
