In Simon Stephens’ stunning play, something is about to happen that will change one family forever.

Set over the course of nine months, On the Shore of the Wide World is about love, family, Roy Keane and the size of the galaxy.

On the Shore of the Wide World is that rare beast in the theatre: an elegant, sprawling family saga that feels utterly contemporary. A parable about what we inherit and what we leave behind, it spans nine months, three generations and a life’s worth of missed opportunities.
