Because Jem is non-verbal, the idea of speaking and not being heard is a major theme. Jem has some important things he wants to say to the world, not least that we must look after the earth and also learn a thing or two about looking after each other.

It has been a pleasure to develop this very different new work with Jem and poets.“
