This August, we are bringing a brand-new folk music theatre production to the Cockpit in London. An uplifting, unyieldingly hopeful fantastical adventure for audiences 12+ Thursday 1 August - Saturday 3 August | 7.00 pm Written by Lilli Lehmann Directed by Apostolos Zografos Produced and presented by TO Entertainment Devised by the Company

RAIN WEAVER makes its London premiere as a riveting tale told through movement, original live music and spoken word.

When the storms cleared, the people were gone. Nothing was left but heat and...

One mountain, one last place where the rain survived.

The sand came, the kingdoms fell. Now, there is only one village left where there is still rain. Legends speak of gods and spirits who keep the thirst at bay. But hidden away, it is Rain Weaver Oo using her ancient craft to provide.

When lies come to light, Oo faces a world full of scavengers and moving towns, desperate for her skills. How much of this need can one single person fill, and at what cost to herself?

Set in a dystopian world, the production explores the intricate interactions between an isolated society and a foreign rain weaver arriving with a different understanding and a much-needed skill.

The play is heavily inspired by our lived experiences as an international collaboration.
