If Trees Could Talk

The full extent of the cycle of connection in its forever growing and fluctuating state is something that will never be fully grasped or understood. If Trees Could Talk tells a tale of connection, perspective, and universality, and dives deep into the lives of six seemingly unrelated characters through three strands of story that all become intertwined. This play explores the ideas of the discovery of self through tragedy, and, whether we may know or not, we are all somehow connected to each other. This is a staged reading of a new work devised by the second-year Theatre students.
