Hopefool- a play performed by Vita Nova
Hopefool by local playwright Sharon Coyne is a play for young people and adults that promotes peace in a time of conflict. For young people especially, witnessing the horror of war from around the world, can evoke a sense of hopelessness. Hopefool is about reminding people that we do have a voice and we can make a difference however small in promoting unity and love.
“Very thoughtful. Made a complex issue very simple”
“Utterly marvellous, perfect, powerful and full of heart. Please come back!”
Hopefool is performed by Vita Nova’s group ‘Celeste’ which is made up of those in addiction recovery and people with English as a second language, including refugees and asylum seekers who have overcome real struggles.
The performance is free but donations on the day will go to supporting the work of Vita Nova, a local arts charity, theatre company and recovery community that is energised and sustained by the passion of their members and volunteers who help people across our community better understand addiction through education, positive action and compassion.
