Once in a while, in the midst of responsibilities to partners, children, work, it becomes necessary to recalibrate one's life and push the boat out. Read more …
Two old mates, Skip and Crew, decide it's time for an adventure.
A micro Odyssey, setting out into the Flow to sleep on an abandoned island. The boat has been scrubbed and painted, the banjo is packed, sails hoisted and they've set their course over several large drams.
Found at Sea is made from a new sequence of poems by acclaimed Scottish novelist and poet, Andrew Greig (Loch of The Green Corrie, Summit Fever, That Summer) which tells the story of a real trip he took to the uninhabited island of Cava, a place which turns out to have a haunting history of its own.
Found at Sea began life as a rehearsed reading as part of our award-winning Dream Plays (Scenes from a Play I'll Never Write) in the 2012 Traverse Festival programme. Join us on the next stage of the show's voyage - an intimate, low-fi, work in progress production in the belly of the Traverse, encompassing poetry, storytelling, music and song.
