Silent Spring Revisited: Rachel Carson’s fight for nature
by Jan Bolwell; directed by Annie Ruth

Rachel Carson has been in Jan Bolwell’s life since she was

nine years old. Her conservationist grandmother

introduced her to Carson’s famous book Silent Spring, that

exposed the dangers of the chemical pesticide DDT. Jan

revisits this book through adult eyes, as she plays Rachel

Carson in her !ght for nature.

An exciting creative team has worked collaboratively on

this work - director Annie Ruth, composer Jan Bolton and

lighting designer Helen Todd. Audiences !nd out about

Rachel’s struggle to bring an important environmental

issue into the light. We also are challenged to consider

current ecological and environmental issues in our own

backyard.

Wellington City Council is rapt to be supporting this

custom-built tour of Silent Spring Revisited to local

community centres. This pilot project explores ways in

which artists might build community within some of the

city’s shared suburban buildings.

‘Jan Bolwell shows wit, fluency, precision and charm..’

I am looking forward to going to training school and continuing to socialise to let out some of my big puppy energy. I am estimated to be medium to large once fully grown. I am the girl who is always up for a cuddle and treats, and will generally be the bravest of my siblings. Being a young puppy, I do require a home with someone around for parts of the day. This will help build my confidence around people, ensure I get lunch, and help with general training. If you think I am the pup for you, contact SPCA’s Canine Team for more information."
