A terrified 12-year-old boy finds himself separated from his family
in the unfamiliar streets of a war torn city. He takes refuge in a
bombed-out house and in the total blackness his bravado crumbles
into tears. Into his life steps Anna - older, street smart and
scornful of his crying. As a way of shutting the boy up, she starts
to tell him a story that she vaguely remembers from her own
childhood. And so begins a journey into the shifting, shimmering
world of ogres, princes, singing bones, foolish lads and
wolf-mothers. Stories in the Dark explores the power of
storytelling, mingling the magic and earthy wisdom of folk tales
with the hard-edged story of violence, conflict and the struggle to
survive. Dealing with issues of war and violence in a suitable way
for children, the play has lots of potential for study in schools.
