A moving depiction of the personal cost of activism. Cranes, is inspired by Demi’s true story about the suppression of protest, the brutality of the criminal justice system, and the heroes who don't get commemorated by statues. At least not at first. This debut play by writer and performer Demi Wilson-Smith received its first showcase last year at SEEN Festival. Now, with further development work, Cranes returns as a fully-realised show.
Presented as part of The Ryan Calais Cameron Season.
"I read that if you fold a thousand origami cranes, you'll be granted a wish.
At least some people believe that. It's nice to have something to believe in. I've made your first one. I dare you to fold the next"
