SALT

The East Norfolk Coast. 1770.

Man Billy is a pious young fisherman living under the rule of his domineering Mother, Widow Pruttock. Two things govern their life: the herring harvest and devotion to God.

Into this cold and isolated life comes the ageless woman Sheldis, a singer with supernatural gifts. As Billy's infatuation with her grows, his Mother, believing him bewitched, will go to any length to break the spell.

Set in a stark, mythic world, and filled with sea shanties, dances, hymns and folk songs, SALT is a visceral tale of faith, jealousy and demonic passion.

This performance is set in the round and seating will be allocated on arrival.

Age 12+ – a scene of sexual assault.

Reviews

"Extraordinary… If Shakespeare, Ken Loach and Nick Cave went on a day trip to Great Yarmouth, SALT could be the result." ★★★★ – The Reviews Hub

"An excellent debut…thoroughly enjoyable…The actors strived to create a jarring sense of dread and pulled it off wonderfully." ★★★★ –Eastern Daily Press

"This enthralling tale is magically brought to life…Beau Hopkins's writing and the wonderful performance from the cast will leave you breathless. Devilishly good!" – Harbour Radio
