Theatre-goers should take the plunge and visit an interesting production coming up at The Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock.

Independent Arts Projects is delighted to be producing the spring 2020 tour of Alice Mary Cooper’s much acclaimed solo theatre work, Waves.

It is the fictional tale of Elizabeth Moncello, a daughter of immigrants growing up on Gabo Island (Australia) in the 1930s, who taught herself to swim by emulating fish, penguins and dolphins.

She later went on to gain fame as the unofficial inventor of the butterfly stroke.

Combining storytelling, movement and splashes of humour, Waves is about having the courage, desire and determination to swim against the tide of expectation. An extraordinary tale of a life fully lived.

Waves celebrates the pioneering female Australian swimmers of the early 1900s.

It coming to The Beacon on Thursday 16 April at 2pm.
