Theatre Elision Presents: SEA CABINET

Sea Cabinet  - Music and Lyrics by Gwyneth Herbert; Book by Heidi James

Sea Cabinet is a song cycle of linked songs about memory, obsession, love and the sea.  A woman walks the beach alone, obsessively collecting every discarded and washed-up object she finds.  She takes them home to catalogue each one with the care and rigor of a scientist. Each item sings with the memory of a secret sea-set story.  Written and originally performed in England, our 2019 production was the U.S. premiere. We are thrilled to return to this much-loved work!

This 75-minute song cycle is performed in one-act with no intermission.
