Synopsis:
the mischievous Raven is bored on a beach where nothing ever happens, and even the sea doesn't move. He sets off across the sea where he meets weird and wonderful creatures like the Fogwoman and the Man who sits on the Tide, who he manages to get to stand up, releasing the waves and the tides for the very first time. This creation story celebrates curiosity, and the big things that small people can achieve.

Top of PageStrange Voyage
Synopsis:
In December 2009 Unfolding theatre produced a show exploring the tragic voyage of round-the-world yachtsman, Donald Crowhurst. Inspired by entries in Crowhurst's real and faked logbooks, Strange Voyage revealed the devastating mental impact of long term isolation and deceit. As Crowhurst's lies distanced him not only from his true position, but also from hope of salvation, the piece explored how and why we construct our own beliefs. the production was created with students at Northumbria University.
