Robert (1849)

Robert, a Victorian man from the Midlands, has always been enchanted by the coast.

Throughout his life he has been drawn to the sea, so much so that he became a cartographer, spending his days walking and drawing the coastline. But the sea is a long way from his home in the Midlands, and on one particular walk along the coast Robert is forced to question where it is he truly belongs.

Join us for a unique sensory folktale experience about the Midlands and the pull of the world outside of what you’ve always known. Using multi-sensory methods of storytelling, including soundscapes, live foley, touch, and integrated audio description, this show is a gentle ode to the known and allure of the unknown, made and performed for small groups.

This 15 minute performance is presented as a part of Nottingham Playhouse's Amplify Festival and Queer Up Duck! and each performance is relaxed and includes integrated Audio Description. The 4pm performance includes BSL interpretation.
