Sisters of the Seas is an original theatre show from Acting Coach Scotland, written and directed by Jake Norton and devised by acting graduates.

The production combines physical theatre, music and storytelling. It runs for 50 minutes at the Annexe and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
