If Ever…
I’ve seen a child cry and I’ve seen a child smile.
I like the smiles and it is really important to me that I helped make one.
Linda Bremner
If Ever… is a contemporary shadow theatre performance inspired by a true story that is expressed through the medium of light and shadow…
…for this is the story of a family’s journey of endurance, love and compassion through anger, frustration and pain when the youngest member of the family is diagnosed with cancer.
The bravery and determination that emerges from such an event is a lasting testament to the strength and power of the human spirit which can transform something as simple as a letter into a beacon of light, joy and hope that has gone on to inspire others to fill a page or two with their story…
If Ever… is a ShadowStage Productions/LOST Theatre co-production.
