This playful yet powerful production, written by Tatenda Naomi Matsvai, is a magical adventure told through poetry, songs, live music and stories, that explore their home heritage in Zimbabwe.

Bettie loves the forest – it’s her sanctuary. But when the council threatens to cut down her favourite tree, she must find the courage to protect it.

A chance meeting with the bold Paida Moyo sparks a journey of friendship, bravery and self-discovery. Can the two friends save the woodlands and its critter crew before it’s too late?
