"Water, water everywhere And all the boards did shrink.

Water, water everywhere Nor any drop to drink"

Imagine you are going to a wedding, when a crumpled old man with glittering eyes and a huge beard stops you in your tracks and starts to tell you a crime story, set on the High Seas - a tale of death, doom an destruction that takes you deep down into the murky depths of your imagination.

Will you dare to follow him? And if you do, will you ever be the same again? 

Coleridge's classic poem is transformed into a swashbuckling adventure, awash with live music and highly physical comedy by Lewis Gibson, Gary Lagden and David Johnston.

Drama workshops will also be touring schools in 2012 in advance of performances, please contact the company for more information.

Tangere Arts is a theatre company based in rural Derbyshire, which provides a wide range of theatre performances and educational workshops, mainly to children, young people and community audiences within the East Midlands Region, but also nationally and internationally.
