UNDER THE FIG TREE

We interviewed Jody Abrahams and Diaan Lawrenson from the play UNDER THE FIG TREE. The world seems to be on a knife-edge. The scent of change hangs in the air, as thick as blood. It is carried on the wind from the biggest cities to the smallest villages. Even into the mountains, where Anna and Peter will soon create a secret world in the dead of night under the fig tree by the river.

The burning question – what happens when you fall in love with someone you can't have? In a world of tradition, a time of intrigue and a history filled with secrets, there is only one thing you can trust: your heart. They broke the rules and trusted their hearts. Four lovers. Two unthinkable love affairs. One story.

The show is currently at Baxter theatres until May 30.
