About this show

A time-travelling love letter to the North East, inspired by the felling of the world-famous Sycamore Gap tree, blending original stories, folklore, history and imagined futures. It asks why the loss of a single tree felt so profound, and what it reveals about our connection to the past, to the future and to each other. This is a chance to see a new work-in-progress show from one of the most exciting writers from across the UK and Ireland, as part of the Shed Originals script development programme in partnership with The Lowry.
