🎶 To Save the Sea offers a unique mix of two styles of music; rock and comedy broadway show-tunes, think Come From Away meets Operation Mincemeat. 🎵 👉 Don’t miss us tomorrow night at Macrobert Arts Centre - 7:30pm. Photo: Mihaela Bodlovic #ToSaveTheSea #Musical #Theatre #Scotland



The sheer volume of talent across the whole production of Sleeping Warrior's To Save the Sea is pretty wonderful. Scots protest theatre grafted to a Larson-like - sung through!! -show of heart, anger and hope... Magic stuff. And a bangin cast!

If you’re planning to come see To Save The Sea at The Trav, I’d advise you get booking quick! ✨ Sleeping Warrior Traverse Theatre


Big, bold, ambitious work from one of our best touring companies Sleeping Warrior - for a packed out audience at the Traverse Theatre. Brilliant work by @A_R_McGregor Isla Cowan and all the team!

Thank you so much Allan Wilson for your kind words about To Save the Sea❤️ So delighted you enjoyed it and for your 7:84 comparison - we made the show with a strong political impetus and the “good night out” tradition very much in mind - so it’s great to hear that you felt this✨

Isla Cowan Traverse Theatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A deeply committed and ultimately moving piece of musical theatre with an important message to deliver…” bouquetsbrickbatsreviews.com/2024/10/11/to-…

Loved To Save The Sea at Traverse Theatre last night. So good & rare to see uncompromising political theatre that is also that entertaining. Well done to Isla Cowan, Andy McGregor, Sleeping Warrior, the amazing cast and everyone else involved! 🌊
