Eastern Angles - "Beyond The Breakers"

Eastern Angles - \"Beyond The Breakers\"

Went to a wonderful Eastern Angles production tonight in Walsham-le-Willows about the lifeboats in Sheringham/North Norfolk.

I can heartily recommend this to all sailors, Classic and even AWB, though I won't put this information up over on ITV in case the AWB's book the tickets you want.

The tour is doing three performances in Woodbridge on 15/16 April (tel 01743 211498 for tickets (£7.50-£9.50), and going to lots of other Suffolk/Norfolk venues between now and 28 May.

See www.easternangles.co.uk

I feel I can "advertise" this as I am totally unconnected. Master and mate of the FF both thoroughly enjoyed it, and may even go again.

Hope to catch it locally, comes well recommended - old friends of ours Pat & Roger from Woodbridge composed the music for it too.

Er, yes, I have to admit to sailing an AWB by the way... a rewarding modern boat to sail, but Dufour are stretching credibility by referring to it hopefully as a 'Classic'!

Re: Eastern Angles - \"Beyond The Breakers\"

Forgiven - according to your profile you haven't got time for a classic boat because you're doing up a classic house.

Some of my best friends sail AWB's - it doesn't stop me saying rude things about their boats on this forum that I wouldn't dare to say over on ITV. Like the 42ft Bendy Toy I crewed at Christmas which luffed up uncontrollably whenever there was a gust. I couldn't stop it even with full "opposite lock" on. Any more wind, and it would've self-tacked. I guess that's the price of a big back end with double bedrooms in it!

Then again, we did see 8+ knots in a 3/4 - in our boat that would only be possible down a long steep wave.

By the way - the music was really good in Beyond the Breakers - in the fact the more I think about the show, the more I realise I got from it. A very clever production indeed, with broad appeal, but particularly compelling for those of us who who use the sea. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Picked up a flyer for this whilst on a visit back to Blighty (Maldon) last week but unfortunately missed it. Looked a really interesting evening though. Would have been interested in seeing how a lifeboat rescue is re-inacted on stage!

Re: Eastern Angles - \"Beyond The Breakers\"

Very cleverly done, with no water whatsoever!

Maldon - Newfoundland - you must have a very fast boat indeed. What's the weather like?

Re: Eastern Angles - \"Beyond The Breakers\"

Very intriguing. Sorry to have missed it.

I am boatless at present but those Air Canada 767's are jolly fast though!
Oh yes and its snowing here today /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

With somewhere in the region of 50cm snow followed immediately by upto 100mm of rain forecast for the next 24hrs, an ark would probably be more appropriate!

Suddenly I feel quite content about the Suffolk weather. Its been a bit damp for varnishing today, but mustn't grumble under the circumstances.
