Salt
The East Norfolk Coast. 1770.
Man Billy is a pious young fisherman living under the rule of his domineering Mother, Widow Pruttock. Two things govern their life: the herring harvest and devotion to God. Into this cold and isolated life comes the ageless woman Sheldis, a singer with supernatural gifts. As Billy’s infatuation with her grows, his Mother, believing him bewitched, will go to any length to break the spell. Set in a stark, mythic world, and filled with sea shanties, dances, hymns and folk songs, SALT is a visceral tale of faith, jealousy and demonic passion.
Salt is currently touring now with Contemporary Ritual Theatre! Be sure to check them out!
