At Sea

Available for 55 days

Lucy Caldwell has written a trilogy of plays looking at different ways families say ‘Goodbye’. At Sea is set in a near future where we find ourselves in a refugee camp in Berwick Upon Tweed filled with families fleeing from a Cholera torn London. We follow three generations of a family as they struggle to hold themselves together in such extreme circumstances. The Father has already escaped to Norway under the cover of night to try to set up a new home for them there, but the struggle gets ever greater and with a traumatised son, a devastated mother and a determined daughter and grandmother, they go on a journey that leaves them no choice but to say goodbye. Beautifully told with wit and heart breaking warmth. Cast: Lily ... Clara Murphy Oliver ... Alfie Hurley Elaine ... Ger Ryan Susan ... Emma Amos Chris ...
