Desmond's Scared of the Smoking Sea archive

Lewisham. A Pupil Referral Unit. Two students - Desmond and Wiggy - are truanting their lessons. To distract themselves from the looming threat of their limited prospects post-education, they enact a series of daydream sequences which range from the naïve and fantastical to the bleakly familiar. When Wiggy professes the sinister power of the sea to consume ‘rotters' like themselves, Desmond desperately utilises his strategies of escapism to combat his fear of the upcoming school trip to Southend beach.

Reviews

User Review: 25Aug23: Vibrant, energetic and empathetic performances from the three talented actors in a play that would not get 'lost' in a much larger venue had the audience captivated. The insightful and credible writing of Tommy Sissons and the creativity of Jack Ambrose is brought dynamically to life in a pacy and emotive performance under the talented direction of the actor, Aoife Scott and left the audience speechless and deeply moved. This experiential play had me, from professional empathetic educational experience, on my feet and moved to the core.
