    AND DIGITALPLAYBILL PRESENT A HUNDRED WORDS FOR BYSNOW TATTY HENNESSY STREAMING • APRIL 13 – MAY 2, 2021 SPONSORED BY KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING ONLINE WITH THE HASHTAG # toSNOW AND NOTE FROM MATT & GRETCHEN FRIENDS, Welcome to the second digital show of our Spring season! This production is the Atlanta premiere of the work of Tatty Hennessy - an exceptional British playwright who also develops scripts for film and television and is a hugely talented director and dramaturg. Tatty has a wonderfully original voice that combines humor with deep questions about the world, and a cinematic sense of language that ignites the imagination and brings audiences on extraordinary journeys. First produced at the Arcola Theatre in London as part of their Vault Festival, A Hundred Words for Snow was a smash hit that was immediately booked for a national tour of the UK and ended up with a hugely successful run at Trafalgar Studios in the West End. The play tells the story of Rory, a fifteen-year-old girl who is reeling with grief from the sudden death of her dad - a geography teacher who was obsessed with great tales of Arctic explorers who battled the elements in pursuit of new discoveries. To cope with her grief, Rory takes her dad’s ashes, and the audience, on an amazing adventure to the North Pole. Over the course of the play, she learns a lot about herself and her relationship with her family, about human beings and our place in nature, about the history and geography that formed this impossible landscape, and ultimately about grief and healing.
