'Do you love what you do? Because I loved making the photographs. I
loved the feeling of taking charge. Putting things in the frame,
taking them out again. Writing with my eyes.' During the First
World War, seventeen-year-old Elsie Wright fools the world into
believing she has photographed fairies in her garden. An ambitious
young reporter seeks to expose Elsie as a fraud. But as she looks
at the facts, she begins to think there's more to Elsie's story
than a simple hoax. Inspired by the true story of the Cottingley
Fairies, The Light Burns Blue by Silva Semerciyan is part of
Platform, an initiative from Tonic Theatre in partnership with Nick
Hern Books aimed at addressing gender imbalance and inequality in
theatre. Platform comprises big-cast plays with predominantly or
all-female casts, written specifically for performance by school,
college and youth-theatre groups. 'Drama is an important tool for
building confidence and empowering young people. Platform will give
girls opportunity to access these benefits as much as their male
counterparts.' - Moira Buffini
