RECORDING THE DEMO WITH MEREDITH BRAUN AND BENJAMIN FROEHLICH
Sea Change
A new musical for 5 actors
This musical is about five people who are stuck, or at an impasse in their lives. The experience of living together on a yacht and being stranded in a life raft forces them to wake up and to open up. And it changes them.
September 1998. The Hamble. Guy, the skipper of a wooden sloop, is taking four holiday-makers for a week's sailing. His mixed ability crew, all strangers, who normally would not give each other five minutes of their time find themselves stranded in a life raft after their boat is mown down by another vessel. While they wait for a gadget called the EPIRB to give the coast guards their position, the five of them open up to one another as they wait to be rescued.
