Developed with British Council Scotland, the project will be written over the next three years and will include the help of more than 100 children from Glasgow and around the world. Arts groups from across the Commonwealth will then collaborate for a series of performances that will include a gala premiere at theTheatre Royal in Glasgow in 2014.
