Show Info

Devised by Patch of Blue
Directed by Alex Howarth

With Alexandra Brain, Tom Coliandris, Lizzie Grace, and Alexandra Simonet

Katy wears orange on Thursdays, purple on Sundays, and eats three fish fingers for tea every day. She lives with her sister, Hannah, and her imaginary dog, Paul Williams, and she'll ask to tap your shoes before she can say hello. When the new boy in town breaks her routine, their lives are changed in unexpected ways. Katy wants to tell you their story.

A visual play with a live electronic score about autism, friendship, and a very big wave.

The multi-award-winning Patch of Blue brings We Live By The Sea to New York after sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Beijing, and the Arts Theatre, London West End.
