Description

The Sea (Modern Plays) by Edward Bond is a masterful blend of farce, comedy and tragedy set in a small East Anglian seaside village. A wild storm sets off a series of events that changes the lives of all its residents, creating a fascinating world of satire and poetic drama. First produced at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1973, The Sea has been revived for a new production from January to April 2008. This cosmically inclined neo-Chekhovian romp is a must-see for fans of biting social commentary and poignant storytelling. A wild storm shakes a small East Anglian seaside village and sets off a series of events that changes the lives of all its residents. Set in the high Edwardian world of 1907, The Sea is a fascinating blend of wild farce, high comedy, biting social satire and bleak poetic tragedy.
