The skies have turned against us.

This suspenseful, atmospheric drama follows strangers Nat and Diane as they take refuge in an abandoned house by the sea after mysterious flocks begin attacking at high tide. With no electricity, dwindling food, and danger pressing in from above can they survive their new circumstances?

But when a young woman with secrets of her own arrives, the sanctuary becomes a battleground. Trust frays, fear spreads, and the greatest threat may already be inside.

Adapted for the stage by Conor McPherson from Daphne du Maurier’s classic short story, this is a haunting, claustrophobic, and deeply human tale that will leave you unsettled long after the final bow.

Book now, before the next tide comes in.
