A folk tale of love, loss and the interconnectedness of all things.

The Ancient Oak stands strong in the Forest of Baldor, in the land of Earten. There it has stood for millennia, rooted deeply to both the land and people of the forest. On this day at the cusp of winter, the people of Baldor are celebrating The Great Cracking of the Ancient Oak.

Elspeth hoped this was the day that Lars would return. But when he doesn’t, she is taken on an unexpected journey. One that she will never forget.

Frozen Light welcomes you into their latest fantasy realm, where we discover what truly nourishes us through the long nights is our capacity for love in all its different forms.

A multi-sensory experience for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities and their companions, offering the chance to gather and experience the collective power of shared stories.
