During the First World War, two teenage girls fool the world into believing they have photographed fairies at the bottom of the garden. But have they captured a little magic along with the mischief? Inspired by the true story of the Cottingley Fairies, 'The Light Burns' is written specifically for performance by school, college and youth-theatre groups.

A new play from the Platform initiative, which comprises big-cast plays with predominantly female casts, written specifically for youth performers.
