An international collaboration as part of Contacting the World Festival
When the skies are dark and gloomy…
And the rain doesn’t stop…
Where is your shelter?
Kelly won’t go outside
Kojo can’t go inside
And the rain won’t stop
With foxes to defeat, crocodiles to ride and mountains to climb and a whole lot of wellington boots, RAIN has been created by 20 Stories High youth theatre in collboration with Iranian company 84 Theater.
This twinning has been part of Contact Theatre’s ground-breaking international theatre festival Contacting the World.
