‘The Fisherman’s Daughter’ Part I& II by The AsOne Theatre Company
‘Heart-warming, intimate family theatre with song, music, and puppetry dusted with AsOne magic.’
The Fisherman’s Daughter – is an adventure-packed double bill of plays** for all the family to enjoy with an unlikely hero, Harold, a joker of a one-legged seagull. Using classical marine literature in an inspiring way; all ages have found this cleverly layered play enthralling.
“My daughter loved it and even her grumpy grandpa thought it was brill’, especially making the sea noises”
*Part I: Sea-Monsters & Pirates - Ten year old Jess nightly worries about the return of her fisherman father. Then colourful, Moira arrives with her one-legged seagull friend, Harold; a rollicking, affecting adventure, & an unlikely friendship.
**Part II: Jess’s Odyssey - The Fisherman’s Daughter Jess loves reading but Homer’s Odyssey confuses her. Up pops a stranger, who just happens to have the same name as the author Homer, a Greek boy from a trawler in the harbour, holds a very bedraggled one legged seagull he has rescued from the water. All three embark on an Odyssey searching for the missing Moira.
