A play about the myths, ideas and realities of migration and identity in the twenty-first century.
Grazyna Antkiewicz lived.
Robert Dziekanski died.
Two people from Poland. One real, one imagined. What happened - or might have happened - between there and here? The distance from living the dream to waking up in a shared room in Scotland with mushrooms growing out of the carpet. From desperately missing your child to falling in love with a foreigner.
Cherry Blossom is a play by Catherine Grosvenor in collaboration with Lorne Campbell, Mark Grimmer and Leo Warner. It was first performed at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 2008.
Catherine Grosvenor is a Scottish playwright and translator. Her performed plays include The Tinderbox (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland 2013); Gabriel (Òran Mór 2009); Cherry Blossom (Traverse Theatre/Polski Teatr Bydgoszcz 2008); and One Day All This Will Come To Nothing (Traverse Theatre 2005).
