Cinema Chill: Brave Bettie

Chill out and watch a digital performance on the big screen in a relaxed and laidback environment.

Bettie loves the forest – it’s her sanctuary, where she feels calm and in control. But when the council threatens to cut down her favourite tree, Bettie must find the courage to fight for what she loves.

The night before the woodcutters come, Bettie meets the bold and mysterious Paida Moyo. The chance encounter sparks an extraordinary journey of friendship, bravery and self-discovery. Can the two friends save the woodlands and its critter crew before it’s too late? And how might the forest help Bettie in return?

Written by Tatenda Naomi Matsvai, Brave Bettie is a magical woodland adventure told through poetry, songs and stories that explore their home heritage in Zimbabwe. This playful yet powerful production explores resilience, self-belief, activism and our bond with nature.

Co-produced by Half Moon and Z-arts, this exciting partnership brings together two of the UK’s leading theatre companies for young audiences.

All Cinema Chill tickets are £5
