After a sell-out tour of Japan, where the show won Best Design at the Japan Times Theatre Awards, "The Window" comes to the Adelaide Fringe.

The central character of "The Window" is Josephine, a 35 year-old woman who works as a psychologist using Sandplay Therapy to assist children who are suffering abandonment or trauma. Abandoned herself at the age of eight, by a father who could not cope following the death of Josephine's mother, Josie has put her past behind her or so she believes. She has a great job, a great boyfriend and is about to leave on a holiday to Paris, city of love and light, when suddenly....her world falls apart. On one level, this story is an archetypal tale of growth and redemption, but it is also a very simple, personal story about a woman facing the fundamental question of what it is to have a achild. A story about abandonment, about family, about truths and untruths and about a little girl looking out a window into the rain, waiting.....Above all it is a story of hope.
