A storm is brewing in a small fishing village. A young woman returns home, searching for answers about her father’s death. But as she begins to weave together the strands of her past, a mysterious force unravels family secrets.
Lost at Sea journeys through a labyrinth of myth and memory in an epic tale spanning forty years of the fishing industry. Featuring the voices of fishermen and their families in their own words - with music, songs and Scots language – it is the lyrical and powerfully evocative story of a North-East fishing family.
Inspired by the loss of playwright Morna Young’s fisherman father, Lost at Sea is a personal tribute to the fishing communities of Scotland.
Morna Young is a playwright, actress and musician from a wee fishing village in the North East of Scotland. She was recipient of the 2017 Dr Gavin Wallace Fellowship where she explored the theme ‘the Folk, the Language and the Landscape of the North East’. Other accolades include: the ‘Tomorrow at Noon’ award for female playwrights 2018 (Jermyn Street Theatre) and the New Playwrights Award 2014 (Playwrights' Studio, Scotland). She was playwright-in-residence for BATS Theatre and Toi Põneke Arts Centre in Wellington, New Zealand in 2018 as part of an ongoing international exchange between Scotland and New Zealand (Playmarket and Playwrights’ Studio, Scotland).
