Exeter College – BOAT

All is not well in the pretty picture-postcard seaside town of Sandymouth. It’s the end of the summer season: the rain is falling, the paint on the beach huts is flaking, and tempers are fraying. A mysterious empty boat sits moored by the harbour wall, waiting.

Some say it’s been here before. Some say it’s a portent of doom. No-one knows for sure. What is certain, though, is that for a few of the town’s residents, the urge to get on board is irresistible.

BOAT is a new original musical by Elfyn Jones, developed in conjunction with students at Exeter College’s UAL Musical Theatre course.
