Driftwood

An inspiring story about hope, love and belonging from the company that produced hit shows Peak Stuff and How Not To Drown.

Two brothers on a beach need to figure out what to do with their dad - but the sea has other ideas. Mark and Tiny walk the shore of Seaton Carew in the North East. Their dad is dying, and their town is crumbling. Family rifts and political divides try to pull them apart, while a figure made of driftwood stalks the shore at night.

ThickSkin and Pentabus are two of the UK’s most prominent theatre companies. Joining forces to present Driftwood, by former Bruntwood Prize Winner, Tim Foley (Electric Rosary).

Directed by a stellar team, Elle While (The Globe’s Hamlet, West End revival The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) and Neil Bettles (How Not To Drown, Disney’s Bedknobs & Broomsticks, Frantic Assembly’s The Unreturning), this play perfectly balances a moving and at times funny story in a physical and visually striking production.

Finalist for the Offie’s Best Online Production. Not to be missed.
