Growing the Forest

We’ve just started week 2 of rehearsals, and times are exciting.  We have a new performer (all the way from Brazil, n’all) who’s already learned the show.  We’ve waiting for red elastic to be shipped over from Japan; pinecones are being collected in Regents Park.  Our studio in Dalston is over-run with conkers and we’re fetching up new trees from Kent.And meanwhile, behind closed doors in an innocuous looking building in Camden Town, there’s a gold floor sprouting trees, a canopy of birds, the sun rises several times a day, and every afternoon we lose ourselves in the darkness of the middle of the night.So it’s growing, The Forest, it’s alive...
