Slipskin by comedian Sami Stone explores language and the natural world for the Brighton Fringe.

Delving into her very personal story and relationship with the flora and fauna of the planet, Sami discusses the rise of technology, seemingly at the expense of the natural world and ultimately, children's wellbeing and mental health.

“Many nature-related words like buttercup, fern, bluebell and dozens more have been removed from the Oxford Junior Dictionary to make way for the likes of broadband, celebrity, chatroom and so on,” Sami says.

“They are disappearing words in a disappearing world and robbing the today's youth of the magical childhoods they deserve.

“Removing the words is not necessarily harming anyone, is it? Or is it a black cloud of prophecy, swelling with inevitability? This show seeks to repair that.
