Faced with the backdrop of the First World War, the insular residents of Bryher can no longer escape the realities of life beyond the islands. It takes the innocence of youth – in the shape of plucky young Gracie Jenkins, and her sailing companion and confidant Daniel Pender – to try to blow apart the fear and hatred that threatens to destroy their community, lifting a powerful curse in the process. Adapted from the book by Michael Morpurgo.
Featuring songs ‘Glory Feels Hollow’ performed by Bella Barlow, Scarlett Bowcott, Lisa Bridge, Frankie Jones & Katy Shorten and ‘Shadows & Fog’ performed by Scarlett Bowcott, Frankie Jones & Matthew Ronchetti (Ensemble: Lisa Bridge, Vincent Pirillo, Katy Shorten & Duncan Smith).
