More Trees To Climb explores themes of love, loss, and competitive tree-climbing, as experienced by the hero of "Coelacanth". This tale presents a boy-meets-girl story with a twist, a tumble, several daring somersaults from the branches, and the profound discovery that love—like the coelacanth fish, once thought extinct—can hide in the darkest depths.

In "Not Everything is Significant", we encounter a biographer grappling with writer's block and a meticulous footnoter. Together, they ponder the meaning of a mysteriously delivered diary that seems to predict the future, raising complex questions about the nature of destiny.

Finally, "Supercollider for the Family" depicts a couple facing unique challenges: he must build a supercollider small enough for household use, while she attempts a tightrope walk around the world. Their quests take us from a top-secret particle physics lab deep underground, with doors that go 'ssh' and women in catsuits, to the dizzying heights of a wire strung like a delicate silver thread between soil and sky.

Originally created for the stage, More Trees To Climb is infused with wit and overflowing with creativity, offering a dazzling and moving magic that captivates on the page.
