A Recipe for Sloe Gin
World Of Boats, Cardiff Bay
Tue 14-Sat 18 Aug
Set in a Cornish fishing village, Clock Tower Theatre Company brings a new site-specific play written by Cardiff-based Alan Neve. The production tells a gently heartwrenching but familiar tale of impermanence, duty and guilt, through the medium of father and daughter monologues. The relentless ocean pulls in, with its tide, memories of their past home and relationship that they once had. A Recipe For Sloe Gin sees the enticement of the past lead to conflicting decisions as to what is right.
Matthew Holmquist is directing – his previous work includes Jez Butterworth’s The River at Loko Club in Bristol with the Red Oak Theatre, which he founded in Exeter; and Blue Stockings by Jessica Swale at the Sherman Theatre. Also joining the cast are Georgia Theodoulou, recently accredited by her role in Amazon Prime series Exhumans as Chrystal, and It’s The End Of The World As We Know It with Dirty Protest Theatre.
Buzz’s go-to films guy Kieron Self also stars, after having performed in Lightspeed From Pembroke Dock, also with Dirty Protest Theatre, and The Wind In The Willows at Sherman Theatre, as well as the sitcom My Family. Performed against a backdrop of the sea at dusk, this production is perfect for those wishing to sail the night away in Cardiff Bay.
