Leaves 1 - 5 Oct 2025
Inspired by the beautiful picture book by Stephen Hogtun, Leaves is a world premiere from Branar about learning how to be in the world and those who guide us all through.
For ages 4–8, this non-verbal adaptation combines stunning puppetry, a signature original score by Colm Mac Con Iomaire, sumptuous design by Maeve Clancy and sensitive direction by Marc Mac Lochlainn.
In the last year of its long life, an old oak tree delights in the emergence of a young sapling. The old oak, keen to share the benefits of its time on earth, watches, guides and nurtures the young sapling, teaching it to thrive, survive and be truly alive in the world, aided by some mischievous squirrels.
Leaves is published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.
Presented in partnership with Dublin Theatre Festival as part of the Theatre for Children season at DTF 2025.
