Dream of the Sea

Our first outdoor show at Binnewith Island Theatre!
"The adventure of a lifetime turns into a disaster for this fisherman! But when a friendly whale shows him the truth of the sea his life is changed in ways that he could never have imagined. The ocean comes to life around him with more beauty than he knew existed and as time passes it changes him for the better."
Filled with energy, light and sound, this show for all ages shows a world usually hidden from view below the waves. With plenty of laughs, special effects, movement, live audio and light effects, it’s guaranteed to leave you in awe at the wonder of the sea.
Suitable for 6yrs and up, family audiences (younger audience members welcome if parents deem it appropriate but dialogue and themes might be lost on them).
Who we are Strange-Twig is a nationally touring UK based Theatre Company specialising in site-specific story based circus, energetically bombastic theatre productions and madcap walkabouts. Strange-Twig Theatre Company was founded in 2005 by Robert Coke-Woods, initially with a small group of performers from Bretton Hall but fast growing to include industry professionals from across the country. In these early years Rob established the company’s reputation for staging energetic and engaging outdoor performances for a wide variety of audiences, and when Penny joined in 2010 as a regular collaborator they also began to expand the company’s practice to include new and interesting technologies alongside acrobatics and circus arts to make every performance consistently eye-catching and always fresh and new.
With the expansion in scope also came an extension in size for the company. As of 2024 Strange-Twig engaged over a dozen freelance artists covering all manner of disciplines from singing, dancing, stage combat, puppetry, acrobatics, fire arts, aerialism, and clowning as well as stage management, technical and other back stage professionals.
as an outdoor show, remember to dress for the weather and bring your comfortable camping chairs!
