Description

A storm is brewing in a small fishing village. A young woman returns home, searching for answers about her fathers death. But as she begins to weave together the strands of her past, a mysterious force unravels family secrets. Lost at Sea journeys through a labyrinth of myth and memory in an epic tale spanning forty years of the fishing industry. Featuring the voices of fishermen and their families in their own words - with music, songs and Scots language it is the lyrical and powerfully evocative story of a North-East fishing family. Inspired by the loss of playwright Morna Youngs fisherman father, Lost at Sea is a personal tribute to the fishing communities of Scotland.
