Close your eyes as live music, sound effects, and smells swirl around you, awakening your senses. It’s the floods of 2011. David, an old sailor with failing sight, mops a leak in his kitchen all night. His family are out of reach and the Council are too busy to help. As the rain pours and the waters rise, a lifetime of memories flows through his head. Struggling to keep mind and body together, can he weather the storm and plot his course to a new dawn?
Audience with sight loss can enjoy this play in the dark. Optional blindfolds provided.
