Briefly about the play


The Drops Of Life
– A Play About Tree Planting And Co-operation-


The original idea for this play came from the ENO Programme that organises a tree planting day on the international day for peace in September. There was a need for a play that could be performed at schools during this special day.

The Drops Of Life is a story where some animals are gathered by an owl. The animals decide to plant trees. They face some problems but get help from a child. They also learn that together they can do more. This play is about the importance of environmental protection and co-operation.

The Drops Of Life has been created purely on a voluntary basis. The original manuscript is made by a Finnish writer and artist, Mr Esko-Pekka Tiitinen. The music and the translation are by Mr Mika Vanhanen. The Drops Of Life will be performed by children and youth around the world. It lasts about 15-20 minutes and includes four songs . This play may be translated into different languages by teachers.

The animals in this play represent mostly endangered species and come from different parts of the world. Information about species and environmental issues will also be available for audience at schools.

The world premiere took place on the 29th of May 2007 simultaneously in every continent, to celebrate the World Environment Day 2007. The Drops Of Life was one of the activities for the ENO Tree Planting Campaign 2007.
