An Incomplete Encyclopedia of Hugs

Juno knows hugs. In her 30-something years she’s had everything from the truly wonderful hug right through to the truly awful hug. But can something as simple as a hug really change your life?

Blending spoken word poetry with round-the-kitchen-table style storytelling, Juno journeys through her personal hug repertoire, weaving tales of loss and love as she figures out what to do with this one glorious life. One hug at a time.

Heartwarming, poignant and captured by Sarah Peters’ trademark lyrical storytelling and warmth, 'An Incomplete Encyclopedia of Hugs' is a one-woman theatre-shaped hug for your soul.
