Silverwing
adapted by Kim Selody
Based on the novel
Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel
Kenneth Oppel’s vividly imagined
bat universe takes flight as the celebrated book is dramatized for the
stage by Kim Selody.
Shade is a young Silverwing
bat, the runt of his colony, determined to prove himself on the long
and dangerous winter migration to Hibernaculum, millions of wingbeats
to the south. During a storm, Shade is swept out over the ocean –
away from his family, his friends, and the only life he has ever known.
Alone and frightened as winter fast approaches and temperatures plunge,
Shade sets out on a remarkable journey to rejoin his colony. After meeting
a banded bat, Marina, the two must survive a world torn apart by war,
and solve the mystery behind the banded bats.
Like all great quest stories,
Silverwing raises potent questions for its young hero, while challenging
him to find his place in the world.
“Silverwing is entertaining,
high-spirited, and beautiful to look at – in other words, it flies.”
—The Georgia Straight
“Kids will thrill at bat’s
adventures…. Silverwing is cool and dark and scary.”
—Winnipeg Free Press (4 1/2 stars out of 5)
