The Rock That Boated

About

Created by David Scotswood & Sarah Thuswaldner | Produced by Dangerous Dames Theatre | Origin: Ottawa, Ontario

It’s 1804, that rascal Napoleon rules the waves, and the British Navy’s favourite tactical island has gone adrift. Can its hapless crew survive an increasingly preposterous Odyssey? Can they endure sirens, sea monsters, and the Welsh? With a shanty in their hearts and nary a thought in their heads, The Rock That Boated is sailing to – well, somewhere! It’s a very nearly true story, after all.
