When oil giants Shell announce plans to dump the defunct Brent Spar oil store in the ocean, a small group of activists have other ideas. Under the cover of night, they sail out to the North Sea and occupy the structure. As their campaign gains momentum, pressure mounts on those in power and political battles ensue at sea and on land.

To Save The Sea

Traverse Theatre

Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me is a re-imagining of teenage years in the 1980s. David Paul Jones and Ben Harrison grew up on the west coast of Scotland and east of England respectively, falling in love with similar music.

David re-interprets classic 80s songs (including Smalltown Boy, Song To The Siren, Boys Don’t Cry and more), interwoven with Ben’s stories of that wonderful, troubled, exhilarating and oddly innocent decade.

Staged with a contemporary folk-inspired score and epic storytelling, two performers reveal a world of characters, live-mixing and layering their voices to create a dazzling, unexpected soundscape as dramatic as the Scottish coastline. Eilidh is the only child on Kinnan Island, where most of the dwindling population has moved to the “Big Land.” As the island’s residents debate its future, a baby whale beaches itself, and Eilidh discovers a mysterious girl along the shore. This modern myth takes audiences on a journey that transcends loss, recovers hope, and finds community.

Islander

Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Three generations. Timeless ballads. One unforgettable story.

From award-winning singer-songwriter Finn Anderson (‘Islander’ (Southwark Playhouse Borough, Off Broadway), ‘Streets’) and West End director Tania Azevedo (‘&Juliet’, ‘But I’m a Cheerleader’), Ballad Lines is a heart-opening new musical that shines a light on identity, belonging and the stories we choose to carry with us.

Sarah thought she’d left her childhood behind. A queer woman living in New York City, she’s long severed ties with the folk traditions of her upbringing. But when old ballads resurface, so do the voices of her ancestors — pulling her on a life-changing journey across time.
