Feet in the Forest Leave No Mark is a new play by Dipti Bramhandkar and directed by Dan Milne and Jane Nash. Camping is a rite of passage for many and becomes a way of life for some. This play is the story of a life as told through a series of camping related vignettes. How does being in nature help reveal who we are and who we might become?
