Description
To celebrate the blockbuster Winslow Homer exhibition currently showing at the National Gallery, we are collaborating with The Biscuit Factory to present scenes from our recent production of ‘A Northern Odyssey’ by award-winning, Tynemouth born dramatist, Shelagh Stephenson.
The play imagines what happened when the American artist arrived in Cullercoats and stayed for twenty two months between 1881 and 1882.
This love letter to the North East coast is the stuff of comedy, high drama, love and tragedy.
