Shortlisted for the New Diorama Untapped Award 2023

“I want to scream. I need an entirely new life because the old one isn’t working.”

Daphne is desperate to re-invent herself, to turn over a new leaf. She plants the seeds for her perfect life, but the fruit tastes rotten.

The Woman Who Turned into a Tree is new play based on an ancient myth about obsession and isolation.

Fusing Collide’s trademark movement and striking visuals with live sound and original music, a world premiere from writer Lisa Langseth (Love & Anarchy, Netflix) and director Emily Louizou.

With thanks to our partners the Embassy of Sweden, Handelsbanken, HOPE, Aquavit and Vintersol.

The UK version of The Woman Who Turned Into A Tree was first commissioned and presented as part of New Nordics Festival by Cut the Cord Theatre in October 2021.
