Journey Song, by Chris Fordred

'The journey song traces the line of our people, Ishtu, back to the beginning. It has been sung for thousands of years. It is an honour, a pleasure for a young man to be entrusted with its words - Ishtu? Ishtu, are you listening to me?'

Aaron loses a wife and is left with a daughter he cannot reach. But why is he dreaming of the Arctic?

Poignant, funny and wildly fantastical, Journey Song is the touching story of the universal trials of fatherhood.

Journey Song was performed in April 2008 at Theatre503, and as part of the Lost One Act Plays Festival at the Tabard Theatre, also in April.
