This Little Earth

Fantastic rehearsal images are in for Jessica Norman's This Little Earth which opens at Arcola Theatre, Studio 2 on 24 October, with previews from 22 October, and runs until 15 November. This Little Earth is Norman’s debut full-length play and was longlisted for The Women’s Prize for Playwriting, as well as shortlisted for the Originals Playwriting Award.

This Little Earth explores the perils of a world where ‘truth’ has been co-opted by powerful liars. Directed by Fringe First Award-winner Imy Wyatt Corner, and starring Fanta Barrie and Ross O’Donnellan the production looks at the strange and sometimes dangerous ways we attempt to control the chaotic world around us.

When Honey’s sister dies, she is left with a curious yearning for the South Pole and endless questions. Christopher knows to question everything. He believes that the truth is out there, but it’s hidden from us by the people in power.

In Antarctica, the most inhospitable place on the planet, where nothing is quite what it seems, their unconventional love story turns into a fever dream.

But will they survive discovering what really lies at the ends of the Earth?

Jessica Norman said, "I’m beyond excited to have Fanta Barrie and Ross O’Donnellan joining the team. They are two bold, brilliant actors whose work I’ve admired from afar, and I can’t wait to see them bring Honey and Christopher to life. This Little Earth is a play for our post-truth age — an unconventional love story and gripping tale of adventure. I know that these two fantastic performers will take us right to the edge."
