Description

Trapped in the Peruvian rainforest, having survived a plane crash and a fall of 10,000 feet, Juliane is utterly alone and hopelessly lost. But she's the daughter of two Amazon zoologists – she knows what to do. In their 'astonishing debut' show (LostInTheatreland.co.uk), TheatreGoose reimagine the true survival story of Juliane Koepcke with a captivating combination of puppetry and physical theatre. A 'tragic but resilient' (FringeBiscuit.co.uk) exploration of our fractured relationship with nature, it reveals the strength of humility in the face of insurmountable danger. Her Green Hell debuted at VAULT Festival 2023.

Really enjoyed this show.

The staging was excellent with particularly inventive use of the airplane seats. It certainly fit the Summerhall ethos of good form and it had good writing. Particularly liked the detail on rainforest species displayed on screen.

My only negative criticism is the actor's tone had no variation. It was at the same level (dialled up to 100) the entire play. It would benefit from a wider range of tone as I found this tiring.

The actor is clearly very competent so it seems an easy issue for her to solve with the right direction and it would lift the production from a 4 star to 5 star.

Fantastic show. The writing, acting and directing are all spot on. This incredible true story is brought to life so vividly. One of the best shows I’ve seen this year.

An incredibly believable story that gripped us for the whole hour. Amazing story telling and movement engaged us for every second. One of the best shows I’ve seen at fringe.

Undoubtedly five stars. Excellent writing, storytelling and physical theatre which gives you the feeling of 'being there'..in the Peruvian jungle. Congratulations to all concerned. Best show my wife and I have seen so far this year along with Comedy of Operas.

A fantastic show. Wonderfully written and amazing acting plus imaginative staging: unmissable. (And I’m a fussy person!)

An absorbing, hour of theatre. Perfect direction and acting tells an enthralling story of a lone girl surviving a plane crash in the rainforest and her battle with her own mind and the landscape in which she finds herself. A much watch!

Fantastic one woman show. Beautifully and intensely delivered. Captivating actress who carried you along with her story. A real triumph.
