Lottie The Travelling Doll by String Theatre Trailer

Lottie, a brave and curious doll, gets carried away by a gust of wind and embarks on a journey around the world. Her first postcard to Sophie reads:
“I am sorry for the manner of my leaving but I am not sorry that I left. The weather was so fine for the time of the year, I couldn’t bring myself to go back inside and I knew that if I didn’t leave at that exact moment, I might never go, I might never see the world. I am a doll after all and dolls don’t have the same freedom that people do. When an opportunity presents itself, they must take it, and speedily.”
Inspired by an event that happened in Franz Kafka's life, the production follows Lottie’s adventures to find her own path, exploring the themes of identity, friendship and freedom.
