✦ Synopsis

Depicting a teenage girl's solo journey to the North Pole with her father's ashes, A Hundred Words for Snow is a complex, epic and undulating story by Tatty Hennessy that pitches themes of death and rebirth against a shifting backdrop of climate change, exploration and the uncertain geography of the North.

A monologue play, A Hundred Words for Snow was first performed at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2018, and was the winner of a VAULT Origins Award for outstanding new work from the VAULT Festival theatre programme in 2018.

It was revived at the Trafalgar Studios in the West End in January 2019.

'Inspired and fast-paced, filled with taut observations and brilliant humour... [has] creativity and joy running throughout' - LondonTheatre1

'A real gem... warm, witty, and like its central character, heavily layered' - The Stage

'A blockbuster of how the very pointless nature of human endeavor is what makes us so brilliant' - Exeunt Magazine

'Extraordinary' - A Younger Theatre
