Poignant, moving and yet at times funny, this is a powerful drama, an exploration of family, loss, and love.

Brothers Mark and Tiny walk the shore of their crumbling North East town, confronting the past and thrashing out memories of their dad, who lays dying at home. Mark has made a life for himself outside of their family town, whilst Tiny cannot bring himself to leave the place he feels such a deep connection to.

From the company that produced hit shows 'Peak Stuff' and 'How Not To Drown.' ThickSkin and Pentabus are two of the UK’s most prominent theatre companies. Joining forces to present 'Driftwood,' by former Bruntwood Prize Winner, Tim Foley (Electric Rosary).

Directed by a stellar team, Elle While (The Globe’s 'Hamlet,' West End revival 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time') and Neil Bettles ('How Not To Drown,' Disney’s 'Bedknobs & Broomsticks,''Frantic Assembly’s 'The Unreturning'), this play perfectly balances a moving and at times funny story in a physical and visually striking production.
