There's a hole running through the centre of my stomach. You must have all felt a bit awkward because you can probably see it.

Sea Wall is a delicate monologue, completely devastating and beautifully powerful.

Alex's story, spoken directly to the audience, begins full of clear light and smiles, as he speaks about his wife, visiting her father in the South of France, having a daughter, photography, and the bottom of the sea. His tone is natural, happy and engaging, with flickers of questions about belief and religion glimpsed under the surface. But his contentment falls away into deep and heart-breaking grief, crumbling to pieces with a vividness that is incredibly moving.

Industry Reviews

One of the most devastating 30 minutes you are ever likely to experience in the theatre * Lyn Garnder, Guardian *
As engaging and devastating a piece of theatre as you're likely to find... packs an enormous emotional punch... A spellbinding reminder of the power of story-telling in all its glorious simplicity. * Independent *
It's a delicate wisp of a thing, like a curl of cigarette-smoke exhaled in a moment of mournful reverie. After contact with it, sure enough, your eyes are welling up, and you're starting to choke. * Daily Telegraph *
