Our Production Blurb

'Can you spot the T.Rolls lurking in the shadows of the festival? They will tell you when they are planning their attack. Sam and her friends are relying on you to help save the magical tree from the T.Rolls! If we don’t save the Far Away Estate and the enchanted tree that grows inside, then these majestic characters will be without a home - and who knows who the T.Rolls will come for next!'


Hello Everyone,

Just thought I would introduce myself, I'm Rebekah and I'll be working with Jake to keep you guys up to date on the goings on of The Faraway Estate!

Here is the blurb for our production! Enjoy!

'The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama collaborates with one-to-watch director Hannah Sharkey to present a workshop exploring ‘The Fate of The Faraway Estate’. Inspired by Enid Blyton’s classic tale ‘The Folk of the Faraway Tree’, and the Focus E15’s housing protest, the workshop explores themes of community, housing, and people power! Participants are promised an interactive experience that allows children and adults alike to help decide the fate of the Faraway estate, its magical tree, and it's weird and wonderful residents.

Follow Sam, a girl who always sees the worst in the world, as she finds herself immersed in this peculiar community. Sam has been sent to stay in this mysterious, magical tower block to regain her lust for life, but she finds herself drawn into an eccentric community, built around the enchanted tree that grows, impossibly, through the middle of the block. Sam’s cynical nature is challenged when this unique neighborhood is under threat from the terrifying T.Rolls developers, and she needs your help to stop them tearing down it down!'
