Midnight. Euan sits alone, his mother’s eulogy lies unwritten. As he and Isla start to piece together his mother’s life, Euan learns more about his own. This musical is an honest exploration of what makes a life worth living and the stories we end up telling, accompanied by a score inspired by Hadestown and The Last Five Years. Can the tides of time resolve unanswered questions of the past, present and future, and will Euan come to see how the tales from the shoreline have shaped his own life? Previous work: ‘Impactful and emotional’ (TheOxfordBlue.co.uk).
