ABOUT THE PLAY

On a moonless night in August when the sea trout are ready to run, a man brings his new girlfriend to the remote family cabin where he has come for the fly-fishing since he was a boy. But she’s not the only woman he has brought here – or indeed the last.

Directed by Janine Wunsche.
Starring Claire Bowman, Ciaran Corsar, Susie Kimnell & Ren Sinclair

" ... this disconcerting, puzzling and often unsettling play, a play which stays with you after the curtain comes down, teasing away at both brain and emotions."
Peter Lathan (2018)

"... an endlessly open, constantly shifting piece of theatre."
Michael Delgado (2016)

"... the moments of stillness, poetical soliloquising and ethereal descriptions, cast a spell of lyrical beauty over the play which is difficult to ignore and entirely captivating."
Stuart King (2024)
