HOW TO SAVE A TREE

Melbourne Writers’ Theatre �� 22 – 26 Aug  Studio Theatre

Four upbeat, uplifting and defiantly entertaining stories of local protest.

Jenny Baines… Sister Brigid Arthur… Extinction Rebellion Port Phillip… Save Albert Park. You have no doubt heard of these passionate local protesters and protest groups, but do you remember when they did this? (And can you believe they would do that?!) From the creators of Beachside Stories (2019), The Best, The Fairest, The First (2021) and Tales from the Jetty (2022) comes How to Save a Tree – a humorous collection of short plays exploring some of Port Phillip’s most memorable protest moments. Rich in history and rare insights, this promises to be an entertaining evening of theatre.

‘This wonderful collection of tales about the strength of community when people are committed to a cause is balm for the soul.’ — Stage Whispers on Tales from the Jetty (May 2022)
