A castaway is rescued from the surging seas to the devout fishing village Saint-Cotriade. Conversation is sparse and in his temporary lodgings he comes face to face with an unsettling kind of hook up culture. This is a darkly humorous and physically adventurous contemporary fable where the fish bite day and night and passions…swell.
Embracing old-school theatricality, Plenty of Fish in the Sea wildly spins a different kind of net that has us caught - hook, line, and sinker!

Clockfire Theatre Company artists are graduates of the Jacques Lecoq Theatre School in Paris, and this training informs the ensemble's process of creating original devised theatre.
