Join Florence, a local teenager, as she journeys with her mother to a remote Island – home to the oldest Albatross in the world – and discovers the beauty, diversity of nature there. Yet, not everything is rosy...something is affecting the Albatross population. What is it? And what can Florence do about it? Find out in this mini-musical.
This short (under 1 hour) performance entertains and highlight one crucial issue of our time, the preservation of our planet. The performances were followed by a very short interactive session – suitable for adults and children – aimed at motivating Portsmouth and the South East to be active in our response to the plastics crisis.
