Wonderful Beast present The Last Woodwose by Thea Smiley.
The Last Woodwose features a wild woman of the woods, a strong, dignified, mature character and a challenger of conventional ideas of femininity and beauty. Her language is entwined with nature writing and poetry; the play merges drama, shapeshifting, storytelling and music, expressing a powerful cross-genre wildness. The threatening forest of fairy tales is inverted, highlighting both its wonders and the danger of extinction, whilst the Suffolk legend of the Green Children is woven into the narrative, reinvigorating the traditional tale and infusing the play with its own local and historical potency.
