There's a hole running through the centre of my stomach. You must have all felt a bit awkward because you can probably see it.

Meet Alex: doting father, loving husband, loyal son, gentle soul. Spend an evening listening to his story, wading through musings of family, spirituality, art, doubt, love, and loss, between crashing waves of tragedy and hope.  

Sea Wall was written by award-winning writer Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-Time) for Andrew Scott (BBC’s Sherlock, Fleabag).  

Now, in a strictly limited season, Steven Rooke performs the moving one-man show under the direction of Ipswich’s own Timothy Wynn.  

With wry humour and resolute honesty, Sea Wall is a delicate, unforgettable, and intimate confession, at once brutal and beautiful.
