SMALL BOATS BIG WAVES

A new musical from the award winning company

​Stories that come down through the centuries. A force that cannot be tamed. The sea that surrounds us. The taker of land and lives.

What binds a19th century fisherman and a 21st century teaching assistant? A responsibility passed down through the ages. People you see in the pubs and cafes. Heroes.

​

​Henry Freeman is very real, an icon. The sole survivor of the 1861Whitby lifeboat disaster. A national hero and then, leading an extraordinary endeavour. The lifeboat carried across the snow covered moors to a rescue

Faith is very real, though not a single person. One of those taking up the mantle today. Two young children, a demanding job and putting her life before others. Will it be chips for tea or facing the worst of seas?
