Live Theatre - The See Saw Tree
Live Theatre - The See Saw Tree
A Must See! - Real theatre means no phones for an hour or so...just real people on a real stage, telling real stories about real impacts... now you can’t get any more real than that! The play centers on a majestic, ancient oak tree that has stood for hundreds of years, providing a home and a delicate ecosystem for a diverse community of animals. The conflict arises when a local developer plans to cut down the tree to make way for a children’s playground—ironically featuring a see-saw made of wood. It’s a story with a plea for planetary preservation and a reminder that once a natural resource is destroyed, the "see-saw" of our ecosystem tips toward disaster. Produced in conjunction with The Litter Club, this story mirrors it’s mission: protecting the existing beauty of Phuket from "waste". Show dates Apr 30, May 1, 3, 7, 8 & 10. 650.00THB - Adult 500.00THB - Students with ID Free - 3 years and under Groups of 10 or more enter Coupon Code GROUP10 for a 10% discount.
