The Bay
London – 2010
A place, a vision, a tragedy.
Picture a quiet beach, fresh and undisturbed by human kind, for the most part that is. This idyllic bay is a real place in County Cork, Ireland and this frenetic play based on real events that turned a beautiful bay into a murder scene. The Bay charts the demise of a loosely developed community of New Age Travellers. Though the aim of all is to live peacefully the territorial nature of human kind makes this difficult and eventually impossible.
