The Girl with No Heart

Their city is made of paper, as are their hearts. The children seek to rebuild an ash-filled world destroyed by war, by folding one paper brick at a time.

From award-winning writer Louisa Ashton, critically acclaimed Sparkle and Dark present their new stark yet beautiful fable inspired by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.

Imagine a child's journey from a world of wishes to a world of war. A scarred landscape which can only be rebuilt with paper. A place where a child's heart holds the power for immeasurable good or unimaginable destruction. The Girl With No Heart uses original writing, highly creative puppetry, live music and shadow play.

Praise for previous show The Clock Master:
"… a brilliantly realised slice of acting, storytelling, puppetry and music – all consistently great." – Buxton Review 2011
"Children and adults alike will be amazed… a feast for the eyes (and the ears)!" – A Younger theatre
