Venue: The Wardrobe Theatre
Artists
Henry Darke

A passionate, comic fable about the housing crisis and a maverick’s mission to turn the tide – a new play by Henry Darke supported by Bristol Old Vic and The Ronald Duncan Literary Foundation

Above a secluded cove in Cornwall, Huck, a former fisherman, is holed up in an empty second home. The holiday season is fast approaching – the sharks are coming.

As Booby’s Bay gets busy for the annual surfing competition Huck wants to shake things up, even if no one’s listening. He’s going to make a stand.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

“Strong and timely…Darke’s promising new play at a time of national housing crisis raises big issues and Chris White’s production is finely acted.”
Michael Billington, The Guardian

8pm plus Sat 2pm, £10/£8 concs. For more info, visit thewardrobetheatre.com/livetheatre/boobys-bay
