In a City, Near a Forest Stage Play in Sheffield This September
Aug 27, 2026
In a City, Near a Forest is a one-woman stage play or a solo storytelling performance showing in Sheffield, England.
It is performed by Funmi Adewole-Elliott, based on Dr Kemi Oloruntobi's forestry career talk. It is an unexpected journey through childhood memories, her grandmother’s folktales, and her fascination with forest ecology.
Through four treasured stories and the call-and-response traditions of African storytelling, the performance explores themes of curiosity, connection, heritage, and the relationship between people and the natural world.
Blending storytelling, movement, and imagination, it offers audiences an opportunity to experience a personal story shaped by childhood memories, cultural heritage, and a lifelong fascination with forests.
