2007 was the centenary year of Rachel Carson's birth. She was a scientist, writer and ecologist who single- handedly challenged the US government and agro-chemical industry in her ground breaking book "Silent Spring" published in 1962.

This show is not a history lesson. It is not about fear and despair. It is a love story and we are all part of the story.

Experience the natural world as Rachel did. Meet this remarkable woman as she reveals stories she never told when she was alive and hear how they reverberate today.

“A poetic tour-de-force”

“An exposed, intense performance….streaked with humour ….played at a pace at once gentle and urgent, sometimes almost powerfully underplayed, so tension never palled”
