The Lamentable Longing of Lazarus Leaf is about Lazarus Leaf, the lowest leaf in Terri the tree. Lazarus wishes he were higher up in the tree so that he could enjoy the special flight down to the ground that all autumn leaves dream of.

The play explores the issues of persistence, resilience and longing in a humorous context. It raises questions of individuality, self-esteem, standing up for oneself and trusting one's intuition. Students gain an understanding of the purpose of change and growth in their lives.
