Amber is alone. She’s not turned up for the first day of her final year of sixth form. She’s terrified of the climate crisis, and everyone knows it. Enter Yerna – a three thousand year old “giant” she accidentally summons, who turns her stuffy flat into a forest oasis. But can their intentions be trusted? What can an ancient story teach a girl that she doesn’t already know?

A new theatre show influenced by New Forest folklore, Bringing The Outside In explores topics of climate anxiety in young people and local issues like air pollution through a combination of music, puppetry, and digital storytelling.

“A soul-stirring exploration of fear, hope, and the importance of community in a changing world.”
