The Last Shout

T01548453488
Written to mark 200 years of the lifeboat service, The Last Shout explores themes of courage, self-sacrifice and our innate need to help others. Employing a combination of live action and dynamic soundscape, the production immerses audiences in two worlds - past and present. Joe is an out of work playwright, searching for an idea. His partner, an NHS nurse, resents Joe's lack of creative passion and artistic integrity. When Joe begins researching the loss of all eight crewman aboard Cornwall's Penlee Lifeboat at Christmas 1981, he finds himself drawn into a complex world of heroism, grief and selfless duty.
