Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
The Wishing Tree is an improvised format where the audience’s favourite wish could come to life. Members of the audience are invited to anonymously write a wish on a piece of paper and hang it on ‘The Wishing Tree’.
The cast of improvisers are asked to choose wishes at random from the tree. Stories unfold and characters are brought to life as the hopes and desires of the wishes are honoured, no matter how big or small. The wishes, reinterpreted from the performers point of view take the audience on an emotional rollercoaster ride and into a night of pure magic.
Creator and director Rama Nicholas says, ‘The format is inspired from a Japanese myth and Tanabata festival in Japan, where people write their wishes on bits of paper and hang them on the trees hoping that the gods will find their wish and make it come true’.
Recommended for ages 15+ for adult language and themes.
