The Crow's Way

If someone follows the Crow’s Way, can they ever make it back? When Gerda’s best friend Cuán ruins their village’s annual ritual, he flees into the wild and dangerous forest. The villagers say he’s gone forever, but Gerda’s not so sure…

A stunning new show from Moonfish Theatre, ‘The Crow’s Way’ follows Gerda as she braves the dark and unpredictable world of the forest in a quest to save her best friend. Along the way she meets the mischievous crows, the rebellious robber princess, and the Cailleach of the fog. But all the time she is travelling closer and closer to the oldest, most dangerous part of the forest, where the wolves live…

'The Crow’s Way' is a fairytale for our times that explores individuality and community through the lens of our relationship with nature. Who decides the rules of a group? What happens when someone can’t follow those rules? How can a group take account of every person’s individuality and create a community that allows everyone - and every living thing - to flourish? Instead of controlling nature, how can humans learn to live ecologically, as part of the natural world?

'The Crow's Way' is a thrilling and unpredictable show for 3rd to 6th class, their families, and anyone who loves adventure, brought to life with Moonfish’s signature brand of theatre magic.
