Spotted something wrong or missing with this play? Let us know!
During the First World War, two teenage girls fool the world into believing they have photographed fairies at the bottom of the garden.
But have they captured a little magic along with the mischief?
Inspired by the true story of the Cottingley Fairies, <i>The Light Burns Blue</i> by Silva Semerciyan is part of Platform, a new initiative from Tonic Theatre in partnership with Nick Hern Books.
Aimed at addressing gender imbalance and inequality in theatre, Platform comprises big-cast plays with predominantly or all-female casts, written specifically for performance by school, college and youth-theatre groups.
'Drama is an important tool for building confidence and empowering young people.
Platform will give girls opportunity to access these benefits as much as their male counterparts.' - <i>Moira Buffini</i>
