This 5 act play, with Francesca Fatichenti and Daan Ho, hides the nature of two colliding worlds inside. Italian commedia dell’arte and Eastern traditions with the use of magic, on the British stage. Using handcrafted masks, and bringing together the processes of creating a magic show this ambitious play is the creation of a common ground between West and East. Proving how art promotes understanding.

 The green bird takes the name of its namesake Commedia and rethinks it into today. The story of two naive siblings, who just arrived in the UK, learning to navigate it in all of its mundane (un)glory. Nightshade Collective brings to Edinburgh a new world of magic where fantastic apples sing, waters dance, statues speak and people can become rich just by throwing one condom. Theatre from the people to the people, to laugh, enjoy, and perhaps even think.
