Islander

Set on the fictional Scottish island Kinnan, Eilidh stares out to sea and dreams of a new life. Myth and reality collide when the tide washes a mysterious stranger onto her beach.

The two-hander female cast sing all the songs, perform a whole host of characters, while weaving, building and layering their voices to create all the sound effects into an expansive, ethereal soundscape for the ears and imagination.
