This is a story about a girl who followed a map off the edge of the world…

In New Zealand there are some 56,000 kilometres of paper roads – streets and towns that exist only on surveyors’ maps. Or do they? A young woman strays from the beaten track and finds  herself in a paper world. It seems a land of possibility but she soon finds that things that happen in the fictional world can have frighteningly real consequences.

From Trick of the Light Theatre (The Bookbinder, Tröll) comes an award-winning production drawn from the twitchy edges of children’s  literature – a dark fable reminiscent of the works of Neil Gaiman and Margaret Mahy.  Combining puppetry, shadow play, and live music,  The Road That Wasn’t There is a captivating cross-over work for adults and older children (8+).

“A delightfully dark adventure, engrossing, entertaining and emotionally touching in equal measure.” ★★★★ — BROADWAY BABY, UK
