No Strapline

Big Big Sky

Sat 5 Jul–Thu 24 Jul

New Vic Theatre

By Tom Wells
Directed by Bryn Holding

At the edge of a cliff looking out over the North Sea, Angie’s café serves as a haven for hungry birdwatchers, tourists and Dennis – who regularly pops in for a leftover pasty and beans.

As the birds begin to fly south, the team start to pack up for the end of the season. Before they close, one final visitor arrives – and is about to ruffle their feathers in the most life-changing way.

Big Big Sky by Tom Wells (The Kitchen Sink) is a heart-warming story about family relationships, friendship, love and loss. Set against a backdrop of the natural landscape, and filled with tender warmth and humour, this is a story that celebrates the beauty of everyday interactions with the communities that surround us all.
