Synopsis
Seascape

Published by Samuel French Ltd
This moving and lyrical play takes place during the summer of 1940 and is set against the dramatic wartime backdrop of the internment camp at Port Erin on the Isle of Man
Two romances develop - one between a German internee of 17 and an English girl of the same age, prevented by circumstances from leaving the Isle
And the other between a woman of Italian descent and a German Jew
The play raises issues about a little-recorded part of British domestic history in which the characters are sustained by their hopes and dreams which we, the audience, finally realize will not be fulfilled
Played mostly in duologues and soliloquies this fifty minute play is an ideal festival choice
