Take a walk into nature and tune into the stories the landscape holds.

Murmurations is a guided tour into nature you’ll never forget – a woman on a mission, a couple in conflict, a man with a plan, and a botanist’s last stand… and other invasive species of the human kind…

Through live scenes and songs, poetry and physical theatre, comedy and tragedy, Murmurations explores what we need from nature and what nature needs from us in a world recovering from sickness …

Reviews & Press

It’s a totally immersive experience and one that is strangely moving. As the piece draws to a close, it’s hard not to feel somewhat changed by the experience.

Glen Pearce - The Reviews Hub

“This remarkable company lead us on a deeply valuable journey through our times; while the great Perthshire trees whisper and sometimes roar around us, and the powerful Tay surges on its way, reminding us always of the mighty natural world on which humanity depends, for its own survival.”

The Scotsman

Murmurations feels freshly innovative; it’s part of a wider creative movement that approaches environmental subjects with a positive sense of natural wonderment, combined with empathy, fun and a lightness of touch

Ruth Kettle-Frisby - The Havering Daily

Heavenly show and very moving. Like nothing I have ever seen before.

Wicken Fen audience member

"Murmurations, a play that’s also a guided tour of Wicken Fen Nature Reserve, is an unusual exploration of wildlife and the experience of being in the open – and a delightful bit of playwriting by outdoor theatre experts Tangled Feet.”
