About the show
There were once six Scottish lads who stowed away on a ship, chasing dreams of adventure…
‘It’s 1868, in the middle of the ocean, and Captain Watt has just discovered six young stowaways on board his ship. Inspired by grand sailors’ tales, they seek buried treasure, mermaids, sword fights… and an elusive cuttlefish. It’s too late to send them back and so, with a command from the Captain, their thrilling seafaring adventure begins. The winter seas are dangerous, food is scarce, and the sailors are unfriendly. When the ship becomes stuck in ice fields, the stowaways will have to grapple with an impossible choice: remain aboard where they are not welcome or set out into uncharted frozen territory.
New from playwright Rachel Pengilly, with original music by Shannon Parnell, Legacies brings together powerful storytelling and physical theatre. Based on the true story of the Arran Stowaways, Legacies probes the depths of resilience and friendship… and how the choices you make shape the legacy you leave.’
