To the Ocean (2018)
“Absolutely triumphed in his attempt to create a modern fairytale. ★★★★” – Owl Eyes
“Magic isn’t real. That’s the first thing that you should know – and if the choice to begin our fairy story in this way is a bit shocking to you, that’s because. Well. This isn’t like any other fairy story you’ve heard before.”
To the Ocean was a devised, musical re-interpretation of the Selkie myth. Based on myth, folklore, and storytelling, the show follows the story of a young girl who sets out on a magical journey to find the mother she never knew. All of this took place in the intimate setting of a tiny harbour café to an audience of 17 each night.
Following its original production, the show toured to rural and remote locations across the UK and Ireland before appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The Greenhouse Theatre is currently in R&D to revive the production with an updated cast for Christmas 2022.
