Intimate innovate theatre that speaks to the heart.
This is a passionate, moving and funny transatlantic love story set in both New York and a small coastal village in Scotland and Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival is delighted to host the production at two of its most intimate venues in Thornhill and Gatehouse.
The tale interweaves the experiences of its young adult protagonists with story of The Selkie – the bedtime story they were read when they were children – along with welcome and unwelcome advice from their American and Scottish grandparents.
