The Garden (1991)

“I have a story to tell you, I tell this story everyday. Sometimes, I add a little to make the story more exciting. But I always take out some parts… parts which are too painful. Sometimes I’m even not sure how the story is going to end… until I tell it. This story is about The Garden.”

With these words from the storyteller, the play and story begins. Shay, who lives on the garden becomes a victim when the garden is destroyed. Banished to the tree with the seven branches, she has to endure the darkness and coldness of the destroyed garden.
