Bettie loves the forest - it’s her sanctuary. 

But when the council threatens to cut down her favourite tree, she must find the courage to protect it. 

A chance meeting with the bold Paida Moyo sparks a journey of friendship, bravery and self-discovery. Can the two friends save the woodlands and its critter crew before it’s too late?  

This playful yet powerful production explores resilience, self-belief, activism and our bond with nature. Written by Tatenda Naomi Matsvai, Brave Bettie is a magical woodland adventure told through poetry, songs, live music and stories, that explore their home heritage in Zimbabwe.

Presented by Half Moon and Z-arts

Brave Bettie is part of our Handle with Care! season.
