Not far from Bristol, there is a village. This village belongs to the people who live in it and to those who lived in it hundreds of years ago. It belongs to England's mysterious past and its confounding present. It belongs to families dead for generations, and to those who have only recently moved here, such as the boy Lanny, and his mum and dad. But it also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort, who has woken from his slumber in the woods. Dead Papa Toothwort, who is listening to them all. A dark and powerful story of folklore, fable and the nature of belonging, Lanny is adapted from Max Porter's novel by playwright Bea Roberts, and is premiered by Bristol Old Vic and ETT in 2026.
