Sycamore Gap

The Swanage School presents Sycamore Gap, a play by Al Smith.

Directed by Harry Peake.

A whodunnit about the felling of the Robin Hood Tree at Sycamore Gap. Set on the day after the felling, the local police are ‘in school’ conducting an investigation. The twelve members of the school’s eco-club are held in a classroom, being taken out and interviewed one by one, until the culprit cracks and confesses. While they wait for their turn, the pupils interrogate each other. Who could have done something so monstrous? What possible motivation could they have had? What impact will it have on their club and their community, now that the tree is gone? And will it be possible for any of them to move on?

Sycamore Gap is performed as part of the National Theatre Connections Festival https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/learn-explore/young-people/connections/
