Set in 1913, an artist arrives by boat, over polluted waters and a throbbing tide,

to take up residency in the Oyster House.

​

As the sun drops over the distant Portsmouth horizon, a series of events unfold,

against a backdrop of rising tensions and the prospect of war.

Based on the real Oyster House of Langstone Harbour, which withstood winds and tides for over 130 years, this new in-the-round theatrical experience will tour the communities of Portsmouth and Langstone Harbours for 15 performances in the Spring of 2025.

Creative Harbour CIC and People and Stories have partnered for an exciting new theatre experience, The Oyster House, supported by Portsmouth Creates and Arts Council England.
