Family Tree

Run Date: 24/08/22 - 26/08/22.

Venue: The King's Arms, Salford.

 

Description: Family Tree was a production inspired by Duncan Macmillian's Lungs. It was a witty two-hander about a couple planning on having a child but are re-evaluating their living circumstance. The world the character finds themselves living in was a total disaster - there was political unrest, the fear of war breaking out and to top it all off the ice caps are melting. It begs the question, is having a child really the right decision to make, given the current climate of the world?

​

Through a surprising lifecycle of their relationship, the production explored the sense of family and change, hope, betrayal, and coincidence.
