From Great Yarmouth’s Contemporary Ritual Theatre comes the critically acclaimed SALT, a visceral and immersive tale of ancient fisherfolk.
“I’m going out wi’ the tide, old wench,
I came in on the flood;
an’ the sea is streaked wi’ silver,
an’ the sun is red wi’ blood.”
The East Norfolk coast. 1770.
Man Billy, a pious young fisherman, lives with his domineering Mother, Widow Pruttock. Two things govern their life: the herring harvest and devotion to God.
Into this cold and isolated life comes Sheldis, a singer with supernatural gifts. As Billy’s obsession with her grows, his Mother, believing him bewitched, will do anything to break the spell.
Filled with sea shanties, dances, hymns and folk songs, SALT is a visceral tale of faith, jealousy and demonic passion.
“Extraordinary…If Shakespeare, Ken Loach and Nick Cave went on a day trip to Great Yarmouth, SALT could be the result” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Reviews Hub
Following a sell-out tour of East Anglia and London in 2024, SALT comes to Hull as part of a UK-wide tour.
Priority booking until 15/7.
