SALT (theatre)
Genre : Theatre
From Great Yarmouth's Contemporary Ritual Theatre comes the critically acclaimed folk tragedy SALT, a visceral and immersive tale of ancient fisherfolk.
"I?m going out wi' the tide, old wench,
I came in on the flood;
an' the sea is streaked wi' silver,
an' the sun is red wi' blood."
The East Norfolk coast. 1770.
Man Billy, a pious young fisherman, lives with his domineering Mother, Widow Pruttock. Two things govern their life: the herring harvest and devotion to God.
Into this cold and isolated life comes Sheldis, a singer with supernatural gifts. As Billy's obsession with her grows, his Mother, believing him bewitched, will do anything to break the spell.
Filled with sea shanties, dances, hymns and folk songs, SALT is a visceral tale of faith, jealousy and demonic passion.
"Extraordinary...If Shakespeare, Ken Loach and Nick Cave went on a day trip to Great Yarmouth, SALT could be the result." ???? The Reviews Hub
"This enthralling tale is magically brought to life...Beau Hopkins's writing and the wonderful performance from the cast will leave you breathless. Devilishly good!" Harbour Radio
"Visceral and immersive...you can almost smell the sea air. SALT draws you in and leaves you feeling truly transported." A Young(ish) Perspective
Following a sell-out tour of East Anglia and London in 2024, SALT comes to Findhorn as part of a UK-wide tour.

The Universal Hall stands as a testament to community vision within The Park Ecovillage, Findhorn, serving as a significant cultural asset for Moray and beyond. Conceived and built by hand over a decade, it operates as a vibrant hub, delivering a diverse programme of events and fostering local engagement through its social enterprise, Universal Hall Promotions.
Inside, the hall offers a distinctive atmosphere, shaped by its hand-crafted origins. The cool, smooth touch of its inspiring stone masonry contrasts with the warm light filtering through a dramatic stained-glass window, creating a space that feels both substantial and uplifting. Its renowned acoustics ensure clarity and depth for every performance.
Practical considerations are well-addressed, with wheelchair access facilitated via a dedicated side entrance adjacent to the Phoenix Café. This on-site café provides refreshments, and ample parking is available for visitors attending events.
Throughout the year, the venue hosts a broad spectrum of artistic and community gatherings, from contemporary and traditional music concerts to classical performances, touring theatre productions, dance, film screenings, and educational workshops. It regularly accommodates conferences, festivals, and local community meetings.
