Follow the Herring: Get Up and Tie Your Fingers

T311604614
Spring 1881, and everyone is waiting for the silver darlings, the migrating herring, on which all their livelihoods depend. Set against the storm that sent 129 gallant Eyemouth fishermen to a watery grave, this is a deeply affecting tale of three courageous women, with a vocal soundscape by Karen Wimhurst, performed by a local women's choir. Gutting, salting and packing the herring into barrels is women's work. So, young Molly must learn to tie her fingers if she's going to join her mother, the obsessive Jean, and their fun-loving neighbour, Janet, as the third member of their gutting crew. But it is another tie, that between a mother and a daughter, that is at the heart of this award-winning play.
