Neptune Calling

Sara, like the rest of us, has had a tough year. The one thing that’s gotten her through is her daily dip in the Irish sea. It cleanses her soul, enlightens her spirit and focuses her mind.

And what she’s decided to focus her mind on is her career as a fledgling journalist, specifically an article she’s been commissioned to write about ‘conspiracy theories’.

Through her research she meets Helen, a retired music teacher who now barely leaves her home, so obsessed she’s become with what she’s learning on the web. She calls it – questioning authority and doesn’t like Sara’s quips that it might be a mental health issue.

Through hours of phone calls and interviews the two women become close. However all the time Sara is questioning Helen’s sanity she’s hearing voices herself. A voice from the sea, calling her name and she can’t refuse it’s pull.

A mixture of sensory experiences awaits our audiences, with a beautiful script by Eoghan Quinn, voiced by Aoibheann McCann and Geraldine Plunkett and a choreographed movement piece performed by dancer Robyn Byrne.
