Young people are sharing their stories, voicing their concerns, revealing their aspirations and beliefs and telling how they wish to change the future of the world. Their experiences are providing the heart and soul of the SeaChange story. All around an evil, decaying world, the world's children were dreaming of change. The rulers of each of the world's seven continents wanted things to stay the same - even though the same was awful and depressing, inhuman and wrong - and banned the word 'change'. The only hope left in the world was SeaChange and the children dreamed of the legend of SeaChange becoming real. Then SeaChange came - a change in the tide that took the children of the world off to escape in boats and ride the SeaChange waves in search of the 8th continent of the world: the best place, the ideal place, built by dreams and made real by words and feelings. Could the SeaChange succeed before the rulers made change, time and even dreams stop completely? Would the world the children wanted to save be worth saving by the time they had found the 8th continent? Did the 8th continent really exist? | | B/O Price | £14 | | Length | | | Review | | | Seating Plan | | | Map | | | Other Info | |

From his failed foray into the clergy, and his days as a young artist in Paris, to his descent into madness in the South of France. This story of his turbulent, often painful life is told through new writing, along with extracts from his own letters, written to his brother Theo, and punctuated by images of his own sketches, drawings and paintings. | | B/O Price | £ 8 | | Length | | | Review | | | Seating Plan | | | Map | | | Other Info | |
