Sorry We Didn't Die at Sea at Seven Dials Playhouse

Sorry We Didn't Die at Sea is a translation of the contemporary Italian play Scusate Se Non Siamo Morti in Mare by Emanuele Aldrovandi. This intriguing and darkly hilarious piece, written by Emanuele Aldrovandi and translated by Marco Young, lies very much in the absurdist tradition. Archetypal characters the Tall One, the Beautiful One, the Stocky One and the Flabby One populate this four-hander set in an unclear future in which three characters are emigrating from a failing Europe. Set entirely in a shipping container, this black comedy invokes the current migrant crisis, and is a deep dive into the human struggle to find meaning and purpose.
