Description
It was an accident!
When Wendy jumps off the family piano and shatters her mam's favourite glass table, she doesn't just break the glass, she cracks open a whole other world. With the shards packed into her backpack and emotions bubbling inside her, Wendy follows her dad through a trapdoor and into another world.
The Leap takes us to a place where ancient wrongs may be righted, new worlds are created and a young girl's sad heart may be cured. It might be possible to piece together what's been broken. But only if she chooses.
Written by Gavin Kostick, this edition was published to coincide with the Fishamble production at the Draiocht Studio as part of Dublin Theatre Festival 2025.
