What Is Sea Wall About?

Sea Wall follows a photographer called Alex who lives a typically happy life with his wife, daughter, and father-in-law, who is a retired soldier. He shares intimate details about a holiday in the South of France alongside his philosophical and religious thoughts about the world. However, a devastating tragedy rises to the surface that changes everything. The monologue is altogether a “heart-stopping meditation on love, loss, and the tides that drag us under” (Everything Theatre).

This staging of Sea Wall will record Andrew Scott’s performances alongside the complete life cycle of the event, with the audience serving as an essential character in this one-of-a-kind new feature film. The film from Studio Seaview will be released at a later date.

The History of Sea Wall

First staged in 2008 at the Bush Theatre in London, the one-man short play is regularly revived on stages across the country. Andrew Scott debuted in the show at the National Theatre in 2013, then reprised the role at The Old Vic. Sea Wall has been staged in subsequent productions as well as a film adaptation which was released on YouTube in May 2020.
