Set on a remote island in Finland, six year old Sophia and her grandmother while away the summer months together and gradually a fierce yet understated love emerges between them, which encompasses not just their relationship but the island itself, with its mossy rocks, windswept firs and unpredictable seas. It is expected to be a perfect summer show for grandchildren, grandparents and everyone in between.

This adaptation of Tove Jansson’s book has been made by Jemma Kennedy. The grandmother will be played by Sara Kestelman. Venue: Unicorn Theatre (a short walk from London Bridge station),  147 Tooley Street, London SE1 2HZ. Box office 020 7645 0560.
