The Sea Story

On the verge of disaster a baby boy is thrown to the sea. He not only survives… he thrives. As he grows older he finds himself torn between two loves, his best friend who is of the sea and a woman of the land. Can he choose one without destroying the other?

Imagine this...

You're sitting in the audience of a darkened theatre at the premiere night of a brand new show by one of New Zealand's most innovative and exhilarating theatre companies.

Whether you're a die hard theatre lover or this is your first time you can't help but notice the buzz and you're feeling the anticipation but also a little nervous. Why? Because you are an integral part of this never to be repeated moment. You have played your role in the creation of this work. You have met the performers and designers, and chatted to the directors. You look forward to a glass of bubbles with them after the show!

Flash back to six months earlier when you were one of the first to see this  show in its emerging form. You were there at the crucial stage of the workshopping process of this piece that was, at the time, simply "inspired by the sea". You were invited to observe and share your reactions as the company developed story and character, flew around the room, made creatures large and small and brought them to life. You knew you were within the process of something big...
