Five Fishermen. £53 million of cocaine. An ongoing fight for justice.
In 2021 new evidence came to light that cast doubt on the original convictions. A tale that has long divided our Isle of Wight community. This powerful new debut play and production seeks to present the case and its events on their merits and explore the state of our coastal communities.Inspired by the wildly popular Guardian Today in Focus podcast, The Freshwater Five incorporates spectacular storytelling, verbatim accounts, inventive stagecraft, poetry and song. The Isle of Wight company delves into subjects of historical and contemporary smuggling, deteriorating coastal communities, immigration and folklore as well as examining this ancient profession’s place in our times.
Award-winning Isle of Wight company Deadman’s debut, fresh from sell-out tours to coastal communities tour and across the South East in 2023 and 2024 is now arriving on a national tour in 2026. Artistic director Samuel Bossman and playwright Liam Patrick Harrison’s full-length debut is a detailed and rich theatrical investigation into the men’s tragic downfall and coastal communities. #FreedomForTheFreshwaterFive
