Sea Wall is a haunting and intimate monologue play about love, faith and the fragility of the world we build around ourselves. Alex, in direct address to the audience, warmly draws audiences in through reflections on joyful memories with his family, before casting you into a deep exploration of grief.
Poignant and profoundly human, Sea Wall is a powerful theatrical experience that hits with the force of a wave you never saw coming.
In this special one-off event, Sea Wall will be read by the playwright himself, Simon Stephens. An in-depth conversation and Q&A will follow, on the important role that theatre plays in all of our lives.
Simon Stephens is one of the UK’s most influential contemporary playwrights. His work includes The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (staged by Auckland Theatre Company in 2016), Sea Wall, Blindness (presented at the 2021 Auckland Writers Festival), Pornography and Birdland, and has been produced internationally across Europe, Asia, Australasia and the Americas.
