Bush Theatre Presents SEA WALL October 5-17

Following its critically acclaimed and sold out run at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, SEA WALL returns to Shepherd's Bush and will be presented in the old Shepherd's Bush Library.

Following the opening of a brand new library at the Westfield shopping centre, the old library has become the Bush Theatre's new script reference library - The Bush at The Library.

The Bush at The Library will be housed at 7 Uxbridge Road, Shepherds Bush, W12 8LJ which will open from 5 October 2009. Sea Wall is being presented as part of the launch of the new Bush script reference library.

Olivier Award winning actor AnDrew Scott recreates his extraordinary solo performance.

Things for Alex are good. He loves his wife, his daughter, his city, his job. But sometimes life works against you. Sometimes the very things you thought you could always depend on can be taken away.

Sea Wall is a story about family, fear and the things that can't be undone.
