Sho and the Demons of the Deep

Independent Arts Projects (IAP) in association with National Theatre of Scotland present Sho and the Demons of the Deep by Zoë Bullock is a new, small-scale theatre production for young audiences adapted from the work by Annouchka Gravel Galouchko. It is a visual-adventure story about overcoming fear, climate crisis and how the actions of one generation can affect the next. Sho’s city has been plagued by nightmares for as long as she can remember, but hers are the worst of all. One day, Sho has had enough. She throws her nightmares away into the Clyde, where they wash out to sea. Soon people start copying her; the city is rid of its nightmares, and everyone is delighted. But sixty years later, when a deadly cost to this new method raises its head, Sho’s granddaughter Hana must journey to the ocean in order to save their city. Developed with support from Imaginate, Playwrights Studio Scotland, Federation of Scottish Theatre, and National Theatre of Scotland.
