Hot summer night. Past locked houses and moonlit trees. In the ravine a million fireflies flit and dance. Lavinia Nebbs stands listening, in the middle of a thousand warm shadows there are little bits of sudden snow all over her flesh – "Every time I take a step, there's an echo. Someone's following me."

The Lonely One, is a deliciously dark tale of fear, with a touch of humour based on an excerpt from the novel Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. Adapted and directed by Rachel Warr – Artistic director of Dotted Line Theatre and newly appointed Associate Artist at The Little Angel Theatre.

This creative adaptation is brought vividly to life courtesy of Dotted line theatre's distinctive style of shadow play and light manipulation.
