Arriving on a remote Hebridean island, he meets Coblaith, a local woman whose family have lived there for generations.

Arriving on a remote Hebridean island, he meets Coblaith, a local woman whose family have lived there for generations. When she offers to help him find the mythical creature that he believes drowned his family, their relationship blossoms. But there’s something strange about Cob’s obsessive affection for the lochs and something even stranger about the way the other islanders treat her.

Suspicious of his new lover, Kazumi’s imagination gets the better of him. Could it be that Coblaith is the mythical creature he has been searching for? Or are humans the real monsters after all?

Exploring island identity and our troubled relationship to the natural environment, this new commission from award winning playwright Joseph Wilde is a gothic thriller about who gets to claim ownership of the land we all live on.

★★★★ “Tautly directed by Rebecca Atkinson-Lord, with an ominous set by James Turner, the show creates an atmosphere of suspenseful dread.” – Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post.

★★★★ “Sends you out into the dark with a shiver” – Lyn Gardner, Guardian.

★★★★ “A smart and gruesome gothic tale that reveals Wilde as a writer with a great deal of confidence and nerve”.

★★★★ “You won’t see anything like it anywhere else” Everything Theatre.

★★★★ “Brilliant writing and experimental uses of fantasy – which juggle comedy and tragedy alongside delusion and reality” – Adam Bloodworth, What’s On Stage.
