AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Things are washing up on the shore: suitcases, spectacles, hair - and then Eva. She has lost all but the memory of her name and how she takes her tea. And she's missing a finger.

'When Bob finds Eva on the beach it's not long before she is in his kitchen and he's falling in love. But Eva is haunted by a past she can't remember. Who is she and why does she scream in the night? When the mysterious rogue Maciek appears, Bob is terrified he'll steal Eva away. Eva is terrified of what he may reveal.

''The Sea Project' is an evocative, unique story of migration, memory and desire. It reunites two of Australia's hottest new theatre talents, writer Elise Hearst and director Paige Rattray, who first teamed up for 2011's explosive 'Dirtyland'.
