Returning to his childhood home, a man finds himself standing beside the pond of the old Sussex farmhouse where he used to play. He's transported to his 12th birthday when his remarkable friend Lettie claimed it wasn't a pond, but an ocean–a place where everything is possible. Plunged into a magical world, their survival depends on their ability to reckon with ancient forces that threaten to destroy everything around them. The Ocean at the End of the World is at the Birmingham Alexandra until 27th May 2023.

This week, Dave Massey talks to Finty Williams about her experience in the role of Old Mrs Hempstock and what her expectations were for this production when she intially saw it in London.
