The Hole

Information

In a hole in the woods, a young woman awakens, having fled a life she can no longer bear. As she becomes a mother, she grapples with the collapse of the world around her and slowly becomes a vessel for Mother Earth, delivering a message to humanity about the consequences of overconsumption, environmental destruction, and societal neglect.

Part psychological odyssey, part poetic reflection, The Hole is a one-woman show that confronts audiences with urgent questions: What legacy are we leaving for future generations? How do we care for the vulnerable in a world saturated by media and consumerism?

Written and performed by Poppy Winter, directed by BAFTA Breakthrough winner Holly Reddaway and produced by Next Minute Productions, this one-woman show is unflinching, innovative, and socially conscious. This immersive performance transforms grief, trauma, and revelation into a call to action—a mirror for our times and a meditation on responsibility, connection, and the fragile beauty of life.
