Synopsis
In a not so far off future, on a stranded island; a group of children left to fend for themselves struggle to survive the rising tides. With no connection to the outside world, the older children cling to rules left by their parents whilst raising the younger ones, but there is no guide of what to do when they start to question everything. Seabourne is a play about children strictly obeying what they’ve been told, finding the courage to think for themselves.
