The Whitby Rebels

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Bea Roberts

The (mostly) true story of a Captain, his crew and a boatload of Yorkshire grit. 

In Whitby Harbour, in the summer of 1991, something extraordinary happened. A humble pleasure boat set sail for the Arctic crewed by misfits, pensioners and the vicar for Egton & Grosmont.

This motley crew was assembled by Captain Jack Lammiman to complete a daring mission: to erect a plaque honouring Whitby whaling Captain William Scoresby senior on a volcanic island hundreds of miles north of Iceland.

Their voyage is a classic story of British eccentricity and determination to rival Eddie the Eagle's Olympic exploits, bus driver Kempton Bunton stealing the Portrait of the Duke of Wellington and crane operator Maurice Flitcroft playing golf in the British Open.

Bea Roberts's play The Whitby Rebels is premiered in 2024 at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough.
