SONG OF A SEA WITCH

Devised by Rachel Hynes & the Ensemble

Music by Ethan Foote

 

Once upon a time, there was a girl, and her best friend was a creature of the sea, a Sea Witch. The Sea Witch was a woman made of seaweed, shells and bones. The Sea Witch loved the girl so much, that she would drag her down to the bottom of the ocean. The girl would stay there, until she found her way back to the surface, only to be lured by the Sea Witch's song again and again. 

 

Song of a Sea Witch uses puppetry, physical theatre and music to tell a fairytale about the power of language and the lasting impact of negative self-talk. Join storyteller and theatre-maker Rachel Hynes to help develop this exciting and perilous tale for everyone who has a Sea Witch.

 

This FREE performance is part of PlayMakers' @PLAY series of workshops developing new theatrical works. After the performance, you become a part of the process! Stay to talk with Hynes about how she's developing this new piece of theatre and share your thoughts with her as she continues to develop it.
