Garnering more than 100 five-star reviews, this spectacular and thrilling theatrical event is a tour de force of magic and storytelling. Adapted by Joel Horwood and directed by Katy Rudd, The Ocean at the End of the Lane takes audiences on an epic journey to a childhood once forgotten.
Returning to his childhood home, a man finds himself standing beside the pond of the old Sussex farmhouse where he used to play.

Plunged into a magical world, their survival depends on their ability to reckon with ancient forces that threaten to destroy everything around them.
