IN DEVELOPMENT

Written by emily Dix

Inspired by the John Steinbeck short story and Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name.

​

A civilian Allied ship is sunk in the middle of the ocean, and an unlikely group of strangers find themselves trapped together in a lifeboat, drifting aimlessly at sea. When a half-drowned man is pulled from the wreckage all seem eager to help – until it’s discovered he’s a German soldier. As the only man aboard qualified to navigate the ship, the survival of all involved seems to depend on him, but can the German be trusted, even if his life is one of those at stake? And as the days drag on and supplies dwindle, will he remain the only “enemy” on board?

​

This immersive production will make extensive use of projection to bring the audience into the action, lost at sea with the characters themselves.​​
