NorthSouth Theatre presents Canvas & Rum

Set in the 1800’s ‘CANVAS & RUM’ is a maritime theatre piece centred around the packet ships that sailed from Falmouth. Looking at the life of an old shellbacker who left his home in Kernow after a family dispute. This old sea dog takes on the duty of teaching a new shipmate the ropes on board the ocean going ship. Bad luck strikes the vessel and its crew, forcing the return home that had been avoided for decades. Inspired by tales such as ‘Moby Dick’ and ‘Heart of the Sea’, but based on the historical figures and events in Falmouth, Canvas & Rum is a maelstrom of Shanties, sirens, superstitions and sea sick sailors.

So if you have the stomach for it join us on our voyage but keep your eyes peeled because there are monsters in the deep.

All aboard for an adventure on the high seas.

Suitable for audiences aged 12+
