A Perfect Sandcastle
by Rachel Barnett

"A Perfect Sandcastle", written by English playwright Rachel Barnett, is a sad, sweet story about 6 people whose lives intertwine one day in a small resort town on the English sea coast.
Rachel, a young playwright (only 28 years old) has given us a story about choices we make to move on or stay put, to grow old, to love, to mourn, to remember, to die, to live eternally, to suffer when we try to hold on, to let go and let be.

Directed by Jill.
Lighting Design by Jean L.
Sound Recorded by Matthia.
Sound Tech: Axel.

With many thanks to Anna, Penny, Joel, the Visitor's Centre Cafeteria and the Bharat Nivas Group.
