Commissioned by the Forestry Commission this short show, with actors, 3-dimensional puppets and shadow puppets, manages to cover the span of human life on Earth up to this crucial point. The Forestry Commission brief was: 'Explain carbon capture by trees please.' 'OK...'
So, Small World Theatre returned to some of their original themes and issues with this show about a forest community. The world is seen through the eyes of COEDEUWYDD a woman of the woods who presides over a secret glade in a pristine ancient woodland.
COEDEUWYDD / Woman of the Trees was performed in the Forestry Commission's yurt at the Royal Welsh Show in 2008 and 2009.
