SALT
4 Jun - 8 JunThe East Norfolk coast. 1770.
Man Billy, a pious young fisherman, lives with his domineering Mother, Widow Pruttock.
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.
Rooted in the myth, magic and folklore, Contemporary Ritual Theatre is dedicated to making innovative and challenging theatre projects in Great Yarmouth, creating visceral and moving experiences for audiences.
