He Was A Sailor, The Sea Was Inside Him

Show Info Cast & Creative

Genre Musical

First Performance 16/05/2007

Closing 27/05/2007

What happens when the door of change opens? Do you walk through it, or walk on by? Sail into the unknown like Salty Bugger, or stick to chartered waters?

He Was A Sailor… explores the unknown in gender, and the tension of the moment before, during and after the storm of change. A kind of fantasmagoria channelling the spirit of early German expressionist cinema and the 1980’s cult classic Oingo Boingo’s Forbidden Zone, He Was A Sailor…embarks on a voyage well-stocked with sea shanties, 1930’s novelty songs, and Busby Berkeley – inspired dance numbers – with boats.

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
