Overview

A whimsical and intimate shadow-play about how long the road home is when you run away in anger.
 
She became so hopping mad 
She became so fizzling furious 
She became so livid with rage 
that she opened the window and climbed down the ladder 
and then she ran. 
 
She ran and ran and ran 
And ran, ran, ran 
And she ran there and she ran around 
And ran over and ran under 
And ran down, down, down, down, down 
And ran up, up, up, up, up 
And ran forward and ran along 
And ran off, off, off, 
And when she turned 
The house had turned into a dot .
