Synopsis: | "There ent much use for reality out here, but I could tell you a few truths. I could sing you a song of welly boots and blood, knitting needles and caster oil. There will be pigs that scream, a girl who cannot feed herself, a miracle baby - and a flatness that consumes us." Take one baby and a mother who's not sure if she's ready. Add a soldier returned from war and a grandmother holding the fort. Mix in a landscape of flatness and a pinch of violence in the countryside and maybe, just maybe, you'll get a miracle. A play about wanting a better life. | |||||

Synopsis: | Deep in the woods near an abandoned village, a group of students is about to shoot the story of the youngest ever witch - and Alice feels she's finally found a role. The same woods, four centuries earlier: a gang of teenagers gather, fearful and intrigued to have found a witch in their midst - and Freya thinks at last she has some power. Past and present collide in an unsettling tale of witchcraft, film-making and practical jokes gone wrong. | |||||
