SHŌ AND THE DEMONS OF THE DEEP 🌊
Yesterday we launched our new production for 2024, Shō and the Demons of the Deep, by Zoë Bullock, adapted from the work by Annouchka Gravel Galouchko, and directed by Shilpa T-Hyland, designed by Claire Halleran, supported by Design Assistant Morven Mcleod.
We're delighted to produce this brand new touring show for everyone aged 8 years and over, in association with National Theatre of Scotland.
Courage can come from the smallest of places
Shō and the Demons of the Deep is a visual adventure story about overcoming fear, climate crisis and how the actions of one generation can affect the next. Designed for everyone aged 8+, the show is inspired by the picture book of the same name by Annouchka Gravel Galouchko.
Shō’s city has been plagued by nightmares for as long as she can remember, but hers are the worst of all. One day, Shō has had enough. She throws her nightmares away into the river, where they wash out to sea. Soon people start copying her; the city is rid of its nightmares, and everyone is delighted. But sixty years later, when the river becomes poisoned, Shō’s granddaughter Hana must face her greatest fears in order to save her home.
An Independent Arts Projects (IAP) production in association with National Theatre of Scotland.
Supported by Creative Scotland’s Touring Fund, & Federation of Scottish Theatre. Development supported by Imaginate UK and Playwrights' Studio, Scotland.
On sale now at Platform Glasgow, Easterhouse, The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen & Mareel, Lerwick…
