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.
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.
