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..’
