The ocean is not a dumping ground. Shell need to clean up their mess.

Rachel

Sung-through musical. When oil giants Shell announce plans to dump the defunct Brent Spar oil store in the ocean, a small group of activists have other ideas. Under the cover of night, they sail out to the North Sea and occupy the structure. As their campaign gains momentum, pressure mounts on those in power and political battles ensue at sea and on land.

Presented by Sleeping Warrior Theatre, touring 12 theatres across Scotland in Autumn 2024.
