ABOUT
I initially joined the production as stage manager for its run at the King’s Head Theatre, before going on to serve as associate director for its run at the Old Red Lion Theatre.
After the worlds water disappears, two sole survivors on a Victorian British Navy vessel hold onto their sanity by re-enacting the rituals of their sea-faring past. Their odd reverie is dashed however, when a mysterious stranger climbs aboard seeking refuge.
