True Adventures of a Soul Lost at Sea

by Kit Lazaroo

Winner of the RE Ross Playwrights’ Award

Directed by Jane Woollard

A storm, a boat, a young woman lost at sea. A miraculous survival, a fantastic lie, a true adventure.

The year is 1852 and Olley Fletcher reappears in a remote coastal town, 40 days after she and her father went missing while fishing deep waters during a storm.

As her memory returns, she tells a story no one can believe. Playwright Kit Lazaroo brings a strange new world into being—a world where animals are our kin and myths become real.

“… this is a wonderfully original story, with a highly distinctive and engaging writer’s voice, able to capture quirky characters with bth intensity and humour.” (RE Ross Panel)
