Ships

A raw, intimate psychological drama set in a Leith bar, where two lost souls collide in a world built on mistrust. Connor, a merchant seaman, spiralling after a violent incident at sea, returns home intent on self-destruction. Alex, a sharp-tongued barmaid, carrying grief and a destructive history, meets him with wit and wariness until a buried connection resurfaces. Darkly funny, unflinching and thought-provoking new work from an exciting Edinburgh theatre company explores masculinity, race, mental health and the fragile possibility of redemption, asking whether love can survive when both are drowning in their past.
