RIDERS TO THE SEA

Synopsis: 

 

This one act play is set in a cottage kitchen in the Aran Isles off the west coast of Ireland. It is a sombre presentation of the anguish and resignation of Aran wives and sisters successively robbed by the sea of all their menfolk and was first performed in February 1904.

 

BHTC NOTES: It is not clear whether this production was just staged for theatre club members as a one off, or ever produced for the larger general public. However, the club did enter this production in the Mid-Sussex Arts Festival that year (See Press Review 2).


With no production programme yet discovered, the cast & crew details have been taken from the press reviews.
