'And that was when I knew. That something was about to happen, and I couldn't stop it. That the sea would
change everything.
Two days later, my Dad disappeared.'
Have you ever wanted things to slow down, the world to stop changing, the sea to stop? Craig's hot on the trail of his very own mystery but unfortunately his 'evidence' has a mind of its own. His investigation will take him far out to sea, down into the undergrowth and up into the starry sky on a journey that delves into fisherman's tales, the amazing science of butterfly migrations and the secret places of our own hearts.
'original, captivating and beautiful'
- Trinity Guildhall International Young Playwrighting Competition, Commendation, 2010
'Moving, poignant and funny, it beautifully conjures the qualities of a child's life.This performance leaves you feeling you have had a very special experience'
- Year 5 class teacher, Brighton.
