“Such revels are the reason we venture forth to the theatre…one quickly relaxes into total confidence in the troupe’s ability to conjure and entertain, which is a rare treat”. The Prague Post

Peter—a quiet, awkward fisherman—still lives at home with his acerbic and overbearing mother. One fateful night, he brings a seal-woman home from the sea. As Sally grows into life on land, their hopes and secrets catastrophically collide in this funny, moving, and visually striking retelling of a selkie myth. With simple staging and haunting live music, The Harbour unearths an over-fished world filled with impossible desires.

“A masterclass in surreal storytelling.” —East Anglia Daily Press.

Limbik creates new theatre work that explores human stories set in epic environments, combining innovative theatrical style with strong narrative craft.

“The relationship between land and sea and the characters that inhabit both are explored in this haunting tale; beautifully told through Limbik’s production of The Harbour… this imaginative one act production combines many story telling techniques to take the audience on a journey to a non-specific harbour town where we are drawn into the lives of the inhabitants.”

Rachel Sheridan, The British Theatre Guide

“For Limbik, simple props become startling and unexpected images, white wellingtons become flapping and gasping halibut or cod. The same boot soles transform into large fish snapping at bait, and polythene wrappers are jelly fish expanding and contracting in the sea.”

James Holloway, East Anglia Daily Times
