A fast-living, cynical London music executive (Danny Mays) heads to a remote Cornish village on a stag weekend where he’s pranked by his boss (Noel Clarke) into trying to sign a group of shanty singing fishermen (led by James Purefoy). He becomes the ultimate ‘fish out of water’ as he struggles to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely boy band and their families (including Tuppence Middleton) who value friendship and community over fame and fortune. As he’s drawn deeper into the traditional way of life he’s forced to re-evaluate his own integrity and ultimately question what success really means.

The theatre will resonate to the sound of songs from musicals such as Mamma Mia, Miss Saigon and Sweet Charity. Enjoy “Laudamus Te” from Gloria by Karl Jenkins, bop along to the “Good Vibrations” and “I’m beginning to see the light”, laugh at “The choir in the rain” and revel in the warmth of shared fellowship as you enjoy these and many other well-loved compositions being presented during the choir’s annual concert entitled “Why We Sing”. |

Pricks

I've had over 70,000 pricks… Of the medical kind.
This is my chance to set the record straight about Type 1 diabetics like me. Despite what people say, I'm not bankrupting the NHS. And I can eat cake – a whole bloody cake – if I want to.
This urgent, funny new show blends warmly engaging storytelling with poetry and an original soundscape. It tells a surprisingly moving and uplifting story about families and learning to care for each other better.
Join me as I learn to cope with the ups and downs of dealing with a lot of pricks.
