Albatross at The Cut, Suffolk

Albatross, written by George Devine and Bruntwood Prize winner Martha Loader and directed by Patrick Morris, is a new play commissioned by Menagerie Theatre rooted in two years of research and interviews with Antarctic researchers. The play follows glaciologist Alice, played by Caroline Rippin, and her mother Eve, played by Agnes Lillis, as they navigate unspoken truths and unasked favours when Alice returns in the middle of the night from her latest stint in Antarctica. Set against the backdrop of the climate emergency, the drama explores intergenerational stewardship and what one generation owes the next.
