Bringing The Outside In
Amber is alone.
She’s not turned up for the first day of her final year of sixth form.
She’s terrified of the climate crisis, and everyone knows it.
Enter Yerna - a three thousand year old “giant” she accidentally summons, who turns her stuffy flat into a forest oasis.
But can their intentions be trusted?
What can an ancient story teach a girl that she doesn’t already know?
Bringing The Outside In is a soul-stirring exploration of fear, hope, and the importance of community in a changing world.
Theatre for Life’s Bringing The Outside In comes as part of the Youth for Climate and Nature (YouCAN) scheme – a partnership project supported by the National Lottery Community Fund and match funding with the New Forest National Park Authority as a lead partner.
The YouCAN scheme is aimed at 11- to 25-year-olds to encourage more community-led action to tackle the nature and climate emergencies. It supports green skills and jobs, and an outdoor learning programme for young people from all backgrounds to explore urban, rural, coastal, and freshwater areas.
