A world premiere from Lisa Langseth (Netflix) about isolation, identity and destructive obsession with the opinions of others.
Daphne is desperate to re-invent herself. Class, looks, money, men.
Daphne is a young woman living in a world governed by toxic masculinity and scrupulous judgement. With no support network, plummeting mental health and growing paranoia, Daphne gradually loses touch with reality.
The Woman Who Turned into a Tree is a world premiere from writer Lisa Langseth (Love & Anarchy, Netflix) and director Emily Louizou. Fusing original music with live sound and movement, this new play inspired by the Daphne myth is a timely tale about isolation, identity and destructive obsession with the opinions of others.
The UK version of The Woman Who Turned Into A Tree was first commissioned and presented as part of New Nordics Festival by Cut the Cord Theatre in October 2021.
