The show won the **Origin’s Award for Outstanding Work at VAULT Festival 2018** and the **Arcola Theatre’s Heretic Voices Award for Best New Play in Monologue Form**. The West End transfer will see The Stage’s ‘top talent to watch from VAULT Festival 2018’ **Lucy Atkinson** return to direct. ***[A Hundred Words for Snow](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/play/3370/a-hundred-words-for-snow-tickets.aspx)* **follows the story of Rory (played by **Gemma Barnett**), a teenage girl who journeys to the North Pole to spread her father’s ashes. Her mission soon turns into an expedition full of self-discovery as she learns more about herself, the destruction to the planet caused by mankind and the dwindling polar bear population. Playwright **Tatty Hennessy** proclaimed that the piece is more relevant than ever “in the wake of the UN’s stark and startling Climate Change Report.” Feminist in nature and at a time when stereotypical gender roles are slowly but surely melting away like Earth's ice caps, this monologue seeks to prove that polar exploration is no longer a domain for men, but for women too, and that the time to save our planet is now. **Taylor Hennessy** is a graduate of the Royal Court and Lyric Young Writer’s Programmes and is known for having served as Assistant Director for Shakespeare’s Globe where she assisted **Adele Thomas** in the production of *The Oresteia*.
