Tamarin Norwood – The Song of the Whole Wide World

Tickets £10.50/£8.50

A few months into pregnancy, Tamarin Norwood learned that the baby she was carrying would not live.

Written partly during pregnancy and partly during the silent maternity leave that followed, The Song of the Whole Wide World is an emergency response to grief held somewhere between the womb, the grave and the many stories that bind them. Profoundly moving and intimate, this is a lyrical and fearless meditation on birth, death, and the possibilities of consolation.

50% of proceeds from this event will go to Sands, a charity which supports anyone affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.
