The Big Wail

written by Hanna Pyliotis
performed by Jayne Walling
Directed by Britt Small 

The Big Wail is an infectiously engaging, comical tale about a fish from the bottom that rises to the top.

​

Bertha, a little bottom-feeding fish, on the bottom of the food chain, from the bottom of the ocean floor, is a sea cleaner. She cleans everything she sees.

 

When something un-cleanable arrives in her sea garden it’s up to her to get to the bottom of it.
 

On her perilous quest, she meets a sassy salmon, a porpoise with a purpose and a killer whale who maybe isn’t so killer after all.


A play about family, appearances, and swimming against the current.


This is a solo show that uses music, song, clown, mask and the wonders of
our natural world to speak about our changing oceans.

​

Performed as part of Intrepid Theatre's New Works Cabaret in 2022 and Theatre SKAM' Skampede Festival 2021
