ONE THOUSAND PAPER CRANES
by Abigail Docherty and Lu Kemp
For everyone aged 8 and over.
When Sadako finds herself in hospital she doesn't like it one little bit. Everyone wants to prod her and poke her and find out what's wrong. But when her best friend Chiziko arrives they decide to change all that. Together.
This is a show about two friends trying to make sense of life, death and other matters.
Based on a true Japanese story about a young girl who set out to save her own life by making 1000 paper cranes.
