Step aboard for a spellbinding theatrical retelling of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's timeless masterpiece,The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Performed by The Hungry Grass Theatre Company, this captivating one-man production brings one of the greatest poems in the English language vividly to life through masterful storytelling, evocative music, and atmospheric staging.
An epic tale of guilt, redemption, and humanity's relationship with the natural world, the story follows a mariner whose impulsive killing of a harmless albatross unleashes a terrifying chain of supernatural events. Blending gothic mystery, haunting imagery, and unforgettable language, this thrilling journey across storm-tossed seas remains as powerful and relevant today as when it was first written over 200 years ago.
Directed by acclaimed theatre-maker Sue Hill, with a mesmerising performance from John O'Mahony, this critically acclaimed production has been praised as "a tour de force by a master storyteller" and "a stunning performance." Suitable for audiences aged 11 and over, this one-hour production promises an unforgettable evening of live theatre that will linger long after the final words are spoken.
